Aaron Berdofe's Wine and Food Experience

Rating: 5/5

Pulled roasted chicken, chicken sausage, potatoes, leeks, onions and green peppers in a homemade chicken broth spiced with sage, rosemary and vegetables.  If you want, add some flour to thicken up the soup  (I didn’t, but it was summer).  Add plenty of pepper to the soup and a hunk of your favorite bread.  Voilá.  Country Chicken Soup.  Hungarian style.

Wine: Szepsy Tokaji Hárslevelü 2005

Notes:

I really should have saved this pairing for the fall and I was told specifically to hold on to this bottle for at least 5 years, maybe 10, but I’m impatient when it comes to these things.  Excellent pairing.  This Hungarian white has enough earthiness and minerality in it to have with a hearty soup.
