Only fruity wines can pull together the many flavors in this menu. Choose a well-chilled dry white and a rosé or a light red. For a white, consider a Sancerre, such as the 2002 Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy or the 2001 Domaine Fournier Grande Cuvée. For a rosé, opt for the 2002 Domaine Houchart or the 2002 Château Grande Cassagne, both from Provence. For a red, look for a light, stylish Bourgueil, such as the 2001 Château de Minière from Couly-Dutheil.
