Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 5 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.

Cava

Interesting

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 Lyonnaise

Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.

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 Lyonnaise Salad With Lardons And Poached Egg

Bubbles with eggs is the brunch classic — Champagne cuts richness, lifts soft yolks.

Pure Syrah from a single granite amphitheater — the wildest, most savage of the Northern Rhône reds. Black olive, blood, iron, and a finish that doesn't let go.

Why it works with Meat Pies Lyonnaise Style

Cornas and Meat Pies Lyonnaise Style make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Red · Full · Dry

California's misnamed powerhouse (no relation to Syrah) — inky, tannic, with notes of blueberry and black pepper. Built for the heaviest dishes on your table.

Why it works with Steak With Shallots And Lyonnaise Potatoes

Petite Sirah's firm tannins balance Steak With Shallots And Lyonnaise Potatoes's richness — the textbook structure-meets-protein match.
