"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. Wine Pairing Suggestions Young Red Burgundy, Oregon Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir, Beaujolais Nouveau, Red Bardolino, Red Valpolicella "
