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.

Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Gorgonzola Fig Walnut Tartlets
Cab handles aged hard cheeses with structure and grip.
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 Gorgonzola Fig Walnut Tartlets
Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses.
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 Gorgonzola Fig Walnut Tartlets
Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.
Why it works with Gorgonzola Fig Walnut Tartlets
Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table classic.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port aged in cask for years, taking on nutty, caramel, dried-fruit character. The 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year designations are the most reliable indicators of style.
Why it works with Cranberry Walnut Tart
Tawny's caramel and nut notes mirror nutty, caramelized desserts.
