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 Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken

Chardonnay's stone fruit and gentle structure are tailor-made for roasted Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken.

Malbec

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken

Malbec brings dark fruit and grip to Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.

Red Wine

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

A catchall for red wine generally — covers everything from a $12 weeknight pour to first-growth Bordeaux. Match the bottle's weight to the food's weight and you'll rarely go wrong.

Why it works with Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken

Medium reds like Red Wine hold up well to Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken, especially when roasted or grilled.

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 Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken

A lean, citrusy white like Sauvignon Blanc keeps Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken feeling fresh.

Zinfandel

Interesting

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 Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken

Zinfandel's structured tannins frame Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
