white burgundy

weird month for it according to the old saying about months with “r”s

(I assume the origination of that is more due to refrigeration during summer, but never researched it. Could also be due to warmer water temps and bacterial contamination, etc)

4

Aligoté or Muscadet and preferably plenty of it.

Responses all over the place. Either people are just thinking of their favorite white wines, or they are thinking of different oysters/oyster preparations!

My favorite pairing is a good time, but perhaps that’s obvious…

Muscadet, Chablis, or Champagne. Always open to something snappy.

Depends how the oysters are prepared. Rockefeller, raw on the half-shell, and deep fried all kinda need a different dance partner.
Well, Champagne obviously goes with all of them.
