I ordered a salad of arugula, fennel, goat cheese, grilled shrimp*, and lemon vinaigrette. I asked the waiter for a wine recommendation. I was trying to decide between a Riesling and a Pinot Grigio. He suggested the Riesling, saying that you always want your wine just a bit sweeter than your food, otherwise you get overpowered by the acid. An acidic wine with a citrus vinagrette would throw off the food/wine balance. I took his advice and was very happy with his suggestion, and with that salad.
*i did order the shrimp. The salad came out with chicken. No offense to the chicken, but I really wanted those shrimp, which came out soon after.
