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.

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.

A mid-weight Australian Shiraz flatters Steak Au Poivre With Dijon Cream Sauce without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

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

Why it works with Chicken In Creamy Dijon-sherry Sauce
A medium white like Pouilly-fuissé matches Chicken In Creamy Dijon-sherry Sauce's weight — neither too lean nor too plush.
