Description
Onion Soup is full of sweet, caramelized onions, crusty bread, and cheese. It needs bright fruit (cherry/raspberry/strawberry) to pick up on the onion's sweetness.
Food friendly and fruity wines like Pinot Noir, Beaujolais, or Dolcetto will do the job.
On the white side, a Pinot Gris or a Gewürztraminer will bring out the flavors of the soup.
