- wondersofwine - 10-28-2002 Will probably be using a Sancerre s.b. So far I've come up with bleu cheese and cold asparagus tips. Possibly tuna tartare. Any other suggestions [This message has been edited by wondersofwine (edited 10-28-2002).] - Kcwhippet - 10-28-2002 Oysters - the perfect accompaniament to SB. - Innkeeper - 10-28-2002 Baby eels wrapped around hunks of the blue cheese. - Thomas - 10-28-2002 Oysters and eels; can't come up with anything better than them! - hotwine - 10-28-2002 Only one - grilled quail. - wondersofwine - 10-29-2002 Thanks for you replies.

This will cut what you perceive as the sliminess.
