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 King Ranch Chicken Casserole

Chardonnay's stone fruit and gentle structure are tailor-made for roasted King Ranch Chicken Casserole.

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with King Ranch Chicken Casserole

A lean, citrusy white like Riesling keeps King Ranch Chicken Casserole feeling fresh.

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 King Ranch Chicken Casserole

Sauvignon Blanc's brightness lifts King Ranch Chicken Casserole cleanly; the acid frames the meat without crowding it.
