Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with West African Peanut Stew

Chardonnay's body matches creamy and bisque-style soups.

White · Medium · Off-dry

The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.

Why it works with African Stew

Chenin Blanc's body handles richer African Stew preparations; the acid stays bright through the bowl.

Pinot Noir

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with West African Peanut Stew

Light red works with heartier soups — French onion, mushroom, beef-based.

Sherry

Classic

Fortified · Medium · Dry

Andalusia's fortified white — runs from bone-dry Fino through nutty Amontillado to syrupy PX. The dry styles pair brilliantly with tapas; the sweet ones replace dessert entirely.

Why it works with West African Peanut Stew

Dry sherry with consommé and clear broths is the classical aperitif move.
