White · Medium · Dry

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa

American Gewürztraminer's body and acid balance Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa's flavor profile.

Cava

Adventurous

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 Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa

Cava's bubbles and acid lift Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa — versatile and palate-cleansing.

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 Salmon With Cherry Tomato Salsa

Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.

Chardonnay

Interesting

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 Salmon With Cherry Tomato Salsa

Oaked Chardonnay mirrors salmon's fatty richness — works especially well with grilled or smoked preparations.

German Dry White

Adventurous

White · Medium · Dry

Dry German Riesling — increasingly the country's flagship style. Stone fruit, slate minerality, racing acid; pairs beautifully with everything from sushi to schnitzel.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa

German Dry White's body and acid balance Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa's flavor profile.

Malbec

Adventurous

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Cherry Salsa

Malbec brings dark fruit and grip to Cherry Salsa — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.

Pinot Noir

Classic

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 Salmon With Cherry Tomato Salsa

Pinot Noir is the rare red that works with salmon — silky tannin meets the fish's natural fat.

Rosé

Classic

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 Salmon With Cherry Tomato Salsa

Dry rosé matches salmon's coral hue and oily texture beautifully.

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 Salmon With Cherry Tomato Salsa

Crisp white acid cuts through salmon's natural oils.
