Ok,
Fiance is a wine buff, and I am not. I have to make Christmas dinner, and she said she would supply the wine. All I know about it is that it is a sweet white wine. What main courses go well with this type of dinner wine? Any help would be appreciated!
Please email me at acrahe@kearney.net

Hi Coach, and welcome to the Wine Board. Easy answer is turkey. Hard answer is pheasant.

well,
Since it's x-mas dinner I would suggest to have two sorts of wines...
Obviously, if you were in france the answer would be foie gras. Duck's liver pate.
Another solution is to make goat cheese salad
(the cheese is heated but not melted)
You still have time to think.

Sweet white wine for the main course is not a usual selection, but if the wine is anything like a Sauterne (Sauvignon Blanc & Semillion) with a honey-like flavor, then foie gras would do it--but true foie gras is not duck liver; it is goose liver; and there is a difference in how they taste, although if a duck liver is prepared the same way as the goose liver, it will do.
Again, it isn't a usual main course, so I would go with IK's turkey suggestion--mainly the dark meat.
