Chardonnay

Classic 6 dishes

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.

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.

Why it works with Chargrilled Sirloin Topped With Scallops,prawns And Squid In A Garlic Cream Sauce

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

White · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.

Why it works with Lobster, Scallops, And Mussels With Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette

White Alsatian's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Lobster, Scallops, And Mussels With Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette's natural sweetness.
