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.

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
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.

Fortified · Medium · Dry
Andalusia's fortified white — runs from bone-dry Fino through nutty Amontillado to syrupy PX. The dry styles pair brilliantly with tapas; the sweet ones replace dessert entirely.

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.

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.

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 Crab Potato Chowder
Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.
White · Medium · Dry
A catchall for white wine generally — covers everything from a $10 weeknight pour to grand cru Burgundy. Match the bottle's weight to the food's weight; rarely fails.
Why it works with Roasted Corn And Potatoe Chowder
White Wine's body handles richer Roasted Corn And Potatoe Chowder preparations; the acid stays bright through the bowl.
