Wine Pairing: Alsace Pinot Blanc

 

Given that the onion ring is just a dumbed-down, Americanized version of the classic tarte a l’oignon—a caramelized-onion tart with roots in eastern France near the German border—your best bet is to keep it regional and grab a full-bodied white wine from Alsace.

 

Riesling will work fine, but it’s perhaps a touch precious and haughty for this application. A good Pinot Blanc or Sylvaner is more aspirationally appropriate.
