Chardonnay

Classic 4 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.

Pinot Noir

Interesting

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 Grilled Lobster Tail

Light reds like Pinot Noir can match Grilled Lobster Tail surprisingly well — especially with seared or grilled preparations.

Sauternes

Interesting

Dessert · Full · Sweet

Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

Why it works with Grilled Lobster Tail And Bison Filet

Sweet wine with cold lobster claws is a New Year's-Eve revelation.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Grilled Steak And Lobster Tail

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.
