This doesn't mean wine is out of the question (unless you are serving up only a big 'ole plate of Asparagus). There are some things you can do to lesson the impact, and help asparagus pair better with your wine:
- Grill the asparagus to give it a bit of a char
- Serve with a cheese, hollandaise, or other creamy sauce
- Buy bunches with thinner/younger spears

Wines that can pair up with Asparagus - minimizing the whole metal thing:
- Wines with herbal notes such as Loire or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
- Versatile wines with great aromas like Gruner Veltliner (Austria), Riesling, and Gewürztraminer
Just be sure and avoid anything tannic or that has been oaked aged like Chardonnay (unoaked Chardonnay should be fine).
