Champagne

Classic 5 dishes

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.

Chardonnay

Classic 5 dishes

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.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 5 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.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Lobster & Shrimp Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Malbec

Classic

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 Lobster & Shrimp Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

Sauternes

Interesting

Dessert · Full · Sweet

Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

Sweet wine with cold lobster claws is a New Year's-Eve revelation.

Semillon

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

Bordeaux's blending white and Hunter Valley's solo star — waxy texture, lanolin, lemon curd. Ages beautifully into something honeyed without losing its acid backbone.

Why it works with Dayboat Scallops With Lobster Tarragon Nage And Edamame Beans

Semillon's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Dayboat Scallops With Lobster Tarragon Nage And Edamame Beans's natural sweetness.

White · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.

Why it works with Lobster, Scallops, And Mussels With Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette

White Alsatian's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Lobster, Scallops, And Mussels With Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette's natural sweetness.
