Pairing Wine and Convenience Foods

These dumplings hail from Poland and are often filled with a savory mixture of cabbage, sauerkraut, onions, potatoes, and cheese. Mrs. T's version is milder, filled with whipped potatoes and cheddar. Poland isn't known for wine, but its neighbor Germany makes Rieslings with delicious acidity and a hint of sweetness that contrast the creamy pierogies. Closer to home, the 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling (Washington, $10) is a terrific value, tasting of crisp apples and peaches with a hint of minerality.
