Pinot Noir

Classic 2 dishes

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.

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 Buffalo Chicken Mac

Chardonnay matches chicken's mild richness — oaked for roast, unoaked for poached.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Buffalo Chicken Mac

Dry rosé bridges poultry across preparations — grilled, roasted, sauced.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Buffalo Chicken Mac

Crisp white that lifts lighter chicken preparations with herbs and citrus.

Zinfandel

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese

Zinfandel gives Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese a structured partner — fruit and tannin without aggression.
