Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 4 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.

Champagne

Classic

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.

Why it works with Cured Salmon With Honey Green Peas Asparagus And Green Peas Sorbet

Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.

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 Mixed Green Salad With Asparagus & Strawberry Balsamic Maple Dressing

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

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 Cured Salmon With Honey Green Peas Asparagus And Green Peas Sorbet

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

Sherry

Classic

Fortified · Medium · Dry

Andalusia's fortified white — runs from bone-dry Fino through nutty Amontillado to syrupy PX. The dry styles pair brilliantly with tapas; the sweet ones replace dessert entirely.

Why it works with Asparagus And Green Pea Soup

Dry sherry with consommé and clear broths is the classical aperitif move.
