Chardonnay

Classic 13 dishes

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.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 12 dishes

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.

Champagne

Classic 11 dishes

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

Pinot Grigio

Classic 11 dishes

White · Light · Dry

Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

Albarino

Interesting 9 dishes

White · Light · Dry

Galicia's gift to summer — citrus, peach, salt air, and acid like a knife. Made for shellfish, paella, and any dish that involves the sea.

Cremant

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Dry

France's traditional-method sparklers from outside Champagne — Alsace, Loire, Burgundy. All the technique, none of the appellation premium.

Why it works with Almond-crusted Halibut

Cremant's fine bubbles and crisp acid are exactly what Almond-crusted Halibut asks for.

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 Panko Crusted Halibut

Serve Pinot Noir slightly chilled with Panko Crusted Halibut; the lift makes the pairing feel right.

Viognier

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The white grape of the Northern Rhône — full-bodied, peachy, faintly perfumed, with the texture of a quiet Chardonnay. Pairs with anything saffron-tinged or apricot-glazed.

Why it works with Macadamia Crusted Halibut

Viognier's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Macadamia Crusted Halibut's natural sweetness.
