Well, different strokes for different folks. The last time I had osso buco
I had a Darioush syrah and I think it went well. I cannot imagine having a
white wine with that dish. I did have some champagne (1988 Krug) with that
dish and overall I think white is a mistake, IMO. This is coming from a
person who loves white wines.
