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.
Why it works with Sweet Pea Soup With Curried Mousse
Chardonnay's body matches creamy and bisque-style soups.
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 Sweet Pea Soup With Curried Mousse
Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.
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.
Why it works with Sweet Pea Soup With Curried Mousse
Light red works with heartier soups — French onion, mushroom, beef-based.
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.

Sauternes is the dessert wine — honey, apricot, and acid with custards, fruit, and crème brûlée.
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.

Dry sherry with consommé and clear broths is the classical aperitif move.
