American Chardonnay

Interesting

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 Fennel And Dill-rubbed Grilled Salmon

Full-bodied whites like American Chardonnay stand up to oily, rich Fennel And Dill-rubbed Grilled Salmon preparations.

Champagne

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Chardonnay

Interesting

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 Dill And Fennel Rubbed Salmon

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

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.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic

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 Dill And Fennel Rubbed Salmon

Crisp white acid cuts through salmon's natural oils.
