What to eat with Picpoul de Pinet...other than Oysters
Posted by taraine, Sep 5.

We have a nice picpoul de pinet from the laungedoc and we ant to use it to the greatest advantage. However, my wife does not like oysters.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Can be a very refreshing wine, especially with seafood. If not oysters, how about mussels? Both are famous accompaniments to the wine in Languedoc-Roussilon, where I have personally enjoyed the combination, as well as with fresh anchovies from Collioure together with very young, fresh cheeses, olive and tomato tapenades and baquette on picnic. Away from the south of France I've found that the acidity of the Picpoul can be a good match for the sweetness of crab, lobster, scallops and clams.
