White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

Why it works with Quick Clam Chowder

A bright, lean white like American Sauvignon Blanc is what Quick Clam Chowder wants: refreshment between bites.

Spanish Sherry

Interesting

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Spanish table wine, broadly — Tempranillo, Garnacha, or a regional blend. Sun-soaked, food-friendly, increasingly remarkable for the price.

Why it works with Quick Clam Chowder

Spanish Sherry's concentrated style brings depth to Quick Clam Chowder; pour in small glasses.

Verdicchio

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Marche's quietly excellent white — apple and almond, a faint bitterness on the finish, and unusual ageability for an Italian white. Try the Castelli di Jesi Riserva.

Why it works with Quick Clam Chowder

Verdicchio brings citrus and a mineral edge that flatters Quick Clam Chowder's delicacy.
