Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 10 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.

Pinot Noir

Classic 4 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.

Zinfandel

Interesting 4 dishes

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.

Red · Medium · Dry

California's signature red — jammy, brambly, often 15% alcohol, with notes of blackberry, black pepper, and dried herb. Built for ribs and brisket.

Why it works with Herb And Garlic-crusted Beef Tenderloin With Red And Yellow Pepper Relish

American Zinfandel's gentle structure complements Herb And Garlic-crusted Beef Tenderloin With Red And Yellow Pepper Relish's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.

Red · Medium · Dry

Mendoza Malbec, the global benchmark — high-altitude vineyards giving deep purple wines with plum, violet, cocoa, and soft tannins. Reliably excellent at most price points.

Why it works with Roasted-garlic Beef Stew

A mid-weight Argentine Malbec flatters Roasted-garlic Beef Stew without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.
