Champagne

Classic

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.

Why it works with Miso Lamb Medallions

Bubbles cut through soy and tempura batter — the cocktail-bar pairing for sushi.

Chardonnay

Interesting

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 Miso Lamb Medallions

Unoaked Chardonnay matches richer Japanese preparations like tempura and miso-glazed fish.

Red · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied red. Dark fruit, soft tannins, and a savory finish — a comfortable everyday choice.

Why it works with Braised Lamb Medallions

A mid-weight Everton Red flatters Braised Lamb Medallions without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

Rioja's traditional supporting grape — small percentages add color, aromatic lift, and structure to Tempranillo blends. Occasionally bottled solo for surprising depth.

Why it works with Lamb Medallions

Graciano and Lamb Medallions make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

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 Miso Lamb Medallions

Silky red meets fattier Japanese dishes — salmon, tuna tataki, yakitori — without overwhelming them.

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 Miso Lamb Medallions

Off-dry Riesling threads the soy-wasabi-fish triangle the way sake does.

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 Miso Lamb Medallions

Crisp, mineral white mirrors the cleanness of sashimi and lightly-dressed Japanese dishes.

A wine without a curated reference in our library. Pour a small glass to gauge style, then pair confidently with what the weight and sweetness suggest.
