Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Cab handles aged hard cheeses with structure and grip.
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.

Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses.
White · Medium · Dry
Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.

Gewürztraminer Lh's body and acid balance Baked Pears's flavor profile.
Fortified · Medium · Sweet
Sicily's fortified wine — sweet and dry styles, oxidative aging, raisin and toffee notes. The secret to a great osso buco; also fine in a small glass with hard cheese.

Marsala's concentrated style brings depth to Baked Pears; pour in small glasses.
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.

Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.
Why it works with Baked Brie And Pears
Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table classic.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Baked Bosc Pears
Riesling's bright acid lifts Baked Bosc Pears cleanly — the lean white strategy.
