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.

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.

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.

Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

White · Light · Dry
Galicia's gift to summer — citrus, peach, salt air, and acid like a knife. Made for shellfish, paella, and any dish that involves the sea.

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 Opah Fish
Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.
Sparkling · Light · Sweet
Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.
Why it works with Grilled Opah With Mango Salsa
Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Opah Fish
Clean unoaked white that lets seafood flavor shine.
Sparkling · Light · Off-dry
Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.
Why it works with Grilled Opah With Mango Salsa
Off-dry bubbles lift fresh fruit and fruit-based desserts.
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 Grilled Opah With Mango Salsa
Off-dry Riesling with fruit-forward dishes echoes stone-fruit and orchard notes.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tempranillo-based blend from northern Spain, traditionally oak-aged into something quietly profound. Cherry, dill, vanilla, leather; great with lamb, paella, and aged Manchego.
Why it works with Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho With Opal Basil Oil
Aged Rioja is the all-purpose Spanish red — tannin from oak, brightness from acid.
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 Grilled Opah With Mango Salsa
Sauternes with fruit tart is the textbook dessert-wine move.
