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.
Why it works with Garlic Casserole
Light whites like Pinot Grigio are what Garlic Casserole wants — no oak, no tannin, just lift.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.
Why it works with Garlic Casserole
Pinot Gris's body matches Garlic Casserole when there's cream, butter, or roasting involved.
Red · Full · Dry
Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.
Why it works with Garlic Casserole
Shiraz brings dark fruit and grip to Garlic Casserole — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Why it works with Garlic Casserole
Syrah's structured tannins frame Garlic Casserole; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
