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.

Chardonnay's body matches richer seafood preparations.
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 Vietnamese Garlic Shrimp
Clean white that refreshes between bites of pho, banh mi, and rice-paper rolls.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Vietnamese Garlic Shrimp
Off-dry Riesling threads through Vietnamese fish-sauce-and-herb cooking with grace.
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.
Why it works with Vietnamese Garlic Shrimp
Dry rosé bridges grilled meats, fresh herbs, and lime-acidic dipping sauces.
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.
