Champagne

Classic 13 dishes

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.

Pinot Noir

Classic 12 dishes

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.

Albarino

Interesting

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.

Why it works with Crab Meat Salad, Avocado Puree, Salmon Roe

Coastal Spanish white with salt and citrus — built for shellfish.

White · Full · Dry

California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.

Why it works with Salmon And Scallop Terrine With Frisée Salad

Full-bodied whites like American Chardonnay stand up to oily, rich Salmon And Scallop Terrine With Frisée Salad preparations.

White · Medium · Dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Salmon And Scallop Terrine With Frisée Salad

American Pinot Gris's mid-weight handles Salmon And Scallop Terrine With Frisée Salad well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

Rosé · Light · Dry

Bandol's serious rosé — Mourvèdre-led, fuller-bodied and more savory than Provence pink, with the structure to handle full meals. Rosé that thinks it's a red.

Why it works with Salmon Salad Nicoise

Bandol Rosé's dry, fruity profile matches Salmon Salad Nicoise without crowding it — a summer staple.

Italia Red

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied red. Cherry, plum, and a touch of spice; food-friendly and ready to drink.

Why it works with Salmon Salad

Italia Red's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Salmon Salad.
