Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Blanc
Ah, the guilty pleasure of an onion ring, crispy, on the outside, gooey goodness on the inside. Of course, there are many recipes, but a perfect onion ring is like the fast-food version of an Alsatian tart d’onion, making it ideal for pairing with a good bottle of Alsatian wine. My pick for Nation Onion Ring Day is a bottle of Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Pinot Blanc. This blend of Pinot Bianco and Auxerroirs grapes produces a fresh, well-balanced wine with notes of pears, apples, citrus, herbs, and velvety texture. In addition, this wine is certified organic and biodynamic, so you can feel less guilty having it with your onion rings.
