What wine to serve with lemon chicken?
 

We're serving lemon chicken tomorrow night for dinner and I was wondering
what wine I should serve with the
lemon chicken?
The recipe calls for skinless chicken breasts,lemon juice,olive oil and
cilantro.Then it's backed. Now what wine should I serve?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Cheers,
Rick

Depends on your budget (doesn't it always?) for a $10USD bottle I would
go with an uaoaked Chardonnay such as Louis Jadot's Macon Villages,
going up I would seek out a Pouilly Fuisse or St. Veran. There are also
some very good unoaked Chards from Australia these days, I like Trevor
Jones'offering. (it called ---- Boot)

Pretty versatile dish. Baked/roasted chicken can go with red or white.
With the lemon and cilantro, I'd go for crisp white. I find lemony
dishes hard on lower acid wines. I think Joseph's unoaked Chablis
(Macon, Chablis, or unoaked crisper New World) is a very good idea.
But Gruner Veltliner, dry Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and others would
do well.

A lot will depend on the emphasis: will it favor lemon or cilantro?
Since it's baked, I'd guess that the cilatro won't be too forceful, so
the Chablis/unoaked Chardonnay idea has a lot of merit. If the cilatro
is very evident, though, I'd favor a bit spicier of a wine, perhaps even
a dry Gewurztraminer.
