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.

Rosé · Light · Dry
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.

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.

White · Medium · Off-dry
The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.

White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Works with Pork Knuckle · Pork Knuckles
France's most northeastern wine region — single-varietal whites from Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and more. Aromatic, structured, sometimes off-dry, always food-friendly.
Why it works with Pigs Knuckle Ragout
Alsace and Pigs Knuckle Ragout make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Red · Medium · Dry
Bordeaux's affordable shadow just to the east — same grape blends, simpler structure, much lower prices. The everyday red of southwest France.
Why it works with Spring Knuckle
Bergerac Red's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Spring Knuckle.
Loire Cabernet Franc — bigger and more structured than neighboring Chinon, with darker fruit and earthier character. The Cabernet Franc to age.
Why it works with Spring Knuckle
Bourgueil and Spring Knuckle make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
Why it works with Knuckle
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
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.
Why it works with Knuckle
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.
Red · Medium · Dry
Hermitage's affordable shadow — Northern Rhône Syrah grown on the flat lands below the great hill. Bright, peppery, food-friendly; drinks well young.
Why it works with Spring Knuckle
Crozes-hermitage Red's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Spring Knuckle.
Dessert · Medium · Sweet
An eastern Bordeaux Right Bank appellation — Merlot-Cabernet-Franc blends with serious structure at fraction-of-Saint-Émilion pricing.
Why it works with Spring Knuckle
Côtes-de-castillon's sweetness echoes the dish's sugar level; check that wine is as sweet or sweeter than Spring Knuckle.
