The official do my work for me and help me pick wine for dinner thread...

Also known as the ODMWFMAHMPMYFDT for short.

OK, I'm having stuffed fresh sardines and veal chop with spring vegetables and chanterelles followed with some cheese and maybe fruit. In the little wine thingy I have some Sancerre, some 1er cru Chablis, some Muscadet, some Chinon, a few Rhone village wines, a lot of Champagne and a little red Bordeaux. Please match my food to wine so that I can be happy and make a nice impression on my long suffering wife. Please do not tell me what I really should have in the fridge.

Feel free to continue this wonderful threak if you like.

Bone-in or boneless? Coating? Butter or oil? If oil, what kind? Thick or thin? Sauce? Garnish?

(Not that, if you tell me all this, I will somehow come up with the right answer).

I'd do a white personally. Champagne and extra chanterelles sounds nice.

I have a Kermit Lynch Selection CdR Villages, a few bottles of Lirac from Joncier, all 2007. Also, some Bandol from Terrebrune 2004 that I counted into the Rhones. The Bordeaux is all older, mid '70s, and I don't want to drink it tonight.

Went with a cheap Kermit Lynch Selection Cotes de Rhone. Good choice. Just the wine I was looking for.

Hai guiz:

Tonight's dinner will feature grilled ribeye steaks, baked off Brussels sprouts, and goat cheese and herb stuff grilled sweet red peppers.

The only wine I plan to serve with it is a 2004 David Arthur Cabernet Sauvignon Estate.

Will we die?

Do not try to ruin my official threak. If you want an unofficial wine threak of your own, you will have to start it.
