Riesling

Adventurous

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 Olive Oil And Sauternes Cake With Pears

Riesling's bright acid lifts Olive Oil And Sauternes Cake With Pears cleanly — the lean white strategy.

Sauternes

Classic

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.

Why it works with Olive Oil And Sauternes Cake With Pears

Sauternes's sweetness must match or exceed Olive Oil And Sauternes Cake With Pears's — and Sauternes delivers, with the acid to keep it from cloying.
