Rich quiche requires a wine that cuts through fat By Bill St. John Special to Tribune Newspapers
No lemons in this recipe, but you can still make lemonade. Together, cheese, half-and-half and eggs sport a fair amount of fat. When paired with wine, fat is a formidable, albeit delicious, barrier to wine flavor getting through. (That is one reason more people around the world drink white wine with their cheese; it has less to lose.) A red wine would be terrific with this dish, but the key is significant tannin to bind that fat and breach its walls. For white wine, be sure it is good and lean, its acidity like a squeegee sweeping away the same. CHICAGO TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO
