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 Cesar Salad

American Chardonnay's richness adds depth alongside Cesar Salad — especially with cream, butter, or oak influence in either.

Champagne

Classic

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.

Why it works with Cesar Salad Quil Egg

Bubbles with eggs is the brunch classic — Champagne cuts richness, lifts soft yolks.

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.

Why it works with Cesar Salad

Champagne White Sparkling's bubbles and acid lift Cesar Salad — versatile and palate-cleansing.

French Chablis

Interesting

White · Medium · Dry

Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.

Why it works with Cesar Salad

French Chablis's body and acid balance Cesar Salad's flavor profile.

White · Medium · 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 Cesar Salad

Italian Pinot Grigio's body and acid balance Cesar Salad's flavor profile.

Rosé · Light · Dry

Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Why it works with Cesar Salad

Merlot Rosé's strawberry-and-citrus profile makes Cesar Salad feel like summer.
