Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.

Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
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 Norwegian Meatballs
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.

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 Norwegian Meatballs
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
Rosé · Light · Dry

Why it works with Norwegian Meatballs
Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.
