Pinot Noir

Classic 7 dishes

Red · Light · Dry

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 6 dishes

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.

White · Medium · Dry

Grüner Veltliner or Riesling from Austria — green apple, white pepper, laser acid. Among the most food-friendly whites on earth.

Why it works with Roast Chicken With Cumin, Paprika And Allspice

Austrian Dry White's body and quiet oak echo Roast Chicken With Cumin, Paprika And Allspice's richness; the acid resets the palate between bites.

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.

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

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.

Malbec

Classic

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 Cumin Chicken Lamb

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

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 Lemon Cumin Chicken

Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.

Shorthand most often for Pinot Noir — light-bodied, perfumed red wine with cherry and earth. Burgundy's most temperamental and rewarding grape.

Why it works with Roast Chicken With Cumin, Paprika And Allspice

Pinot Griego and Roast Chicken With Cumin, Paprika And Allspice make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

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 Cumin/parsley Marinated Chicken Kabob With Peppers Tomatoes Red Onion

Clean white that lets vegetable preparations stay center stage.

White · Light · Dry

Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.

Why it works with Roast Chicken With Cumin, Paprika And Allspice

A lean, citrusy white like Pouilly-fumé keeps Roast Chicken With Cumin, Paprika And Allspice feeling fresh.
