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 Lengua (beef Tongue)

Reach for Pinot Noir when you want Lengua (beef Tongue) to feel more like dinner and less like a workout.

Sauvignon Blanc

Adventurous

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 Lengua (beef Tongue)

Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Lengua (beef Tongue) cleanly — the lean white strategy.
