I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love a hot steaming bowl of French Onion soup. You can serve it as an early course in your dinner meal. Or just pair it with a salad to make it a meal on its own. It would lovely with this Apple Fennel salad at lunch. As for wine, we recommend Pinot Noir. But a few other lighter reds might make sense too. See our suggestions below. Wine Pairing Suggestions Young Red Burgundy Oregon Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir Beaujolais Nouveau Red Bardolino Red Valpolicella
