Interesting

Why it works with Penne With Pumpkin Sauce

American Chardonnay's richness matches Penne With Pumpkin Sauce's cream or butter; oak and stone fruit add a layer.

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Washington and Finger Lakes Rieslings split the difference between Mosel delicacy and Alsatian heft — bright stone fruit, modest sweetness, lively acid. A natural with Thai, Indian, and anything off the spice rack.

American Riesling's bright acid lifts Penne With Pumpkin Sauce cleanly — the lean white strategy.
