Notes & Wine Advice
Wine Advice:
A light-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or a dry Riesling would pair well with the comforting flavors of chicken and dumplings. Alternatively, for a non-alcoholic option, consider serving with apple cider or sparkling water with a splash of lemon.Nutrition values
