There was a discussion about artichokes with vinaigrettes but it quickly
diverged into a discussion of aperitifs derived from artichokes. I can't
think of a wine that would not be spoilt by drinking it while eating
artichokes dipped in melted butter, flavored mayonnaises or
vinaigrettes. Has anyone ever enjoyed a wine with artichokes?


No. I don't try too hard, though. Artichokes tend to impart a jarring
sweetness to wine that I find actively unpleasant. So, I'll drink water
with artichoke and wait to have the wine later.
