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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Caribbean Chicken Empanada With Mango Creme
Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.
Sicily's traditional white — lemon, almond, salt; light and food-friendly, the everyday Mediterranean white.
Why it works with Caribbean Chicken Black Bean Stew
Pinto grillo and Caribbean Chicken Black Bean Stew make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
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 Caribbean Jerk Chicken
Off-dry Riesling is the textbook spicy-food pairing — sweetness tames heat, acid lifts the dish.
