Champagne

Classic 6 dishes

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.

White · Medium · Dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Salad Of Fresh Herbs And Greens With Fried Eggplant

American Pinot Gris's body and acid balance Salad Of Fresh Herbs And Greens With Fried Eggplant's flavor profile.

White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

Why it works with Salad Of Fresh Herbs And Greens With Fried Eggplant

American Sauvignon Blanc's zest and acid match Salad Of Fresh Herbs And Greens With Fried Eggplant's freshness — citrus meeting greens.

Barolo

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.

Why it works with Endive Salad On Walnut Vinagrette , Topped With Poached Egg And Truffle Oil

Nebbiolo with white Alba truffles is the Piedmontese ritual — tar, rose, and umami.

Burgundy

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Pinot Noir (red) or Chardonnay (white) from the world's most expensive dirt. Translucent, perfumed, ethereal at the top of the hierarchy; honest and pleasant lower down. Drink slowly, with reverence.

Why it works with Endive Salad On Walnut Vinagrette , Topped With Poached Egg And Truffle Oil

Burgundian Pinot and truffles are the apex pairing — both about earth, restraint, and depth.

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 Salad Of Fresh Herbs And Greens With Fried Eggplant

Italian Pinot Grigio's body and acid balance Salad Of Fresh Herbs And Greens With Fried Eggplant's flavor profile.

Merlot

Adventurous

Red · Medium · 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 Grilled Vegetable Salad (eggplant;red Bell Pepper Drizzled With Olive Oil)

Merlot's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Grilled Vegetable Salad (eggplant;red Bell Pepper Drizzled With Olive Oil).
