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.
Works with Tomato Lemongrass · Mussels With Saffron, Lemongrass & Tomatoes
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
Why it works with Mussels With Saffron, Lemongrass & Tomatoes
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
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 Mussels With Saffron, Lemongrass & Tomatoes
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.
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 Tomato Lemongrass
Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.
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.
Why it works with Tomato Lemongrass
Clean white that lets vegetable preparations stay center stage.
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 Mussels With Saffron, Lemongrass & Tomatoes
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
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.
Why it works with Tomato Lemongrass
Sauternes with fruit-forward desserts is textbook — honey meets stone fruit.
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.
Why it works with Tomato Lemongrass
Herbaceous white that mirrors green-vegetable flavors.
