Mutton Curry

Red · Light · Dry

Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.

A small Southwest French appellation — Tannat-based reds and a touch of white. Rustic, food-friendly, deeply regional.

Malbec's spiritual home — France's southwest, where the grape is called Cot. Darker, more brooding, less plush than Argentine Malbec; pairs with duck and cassoulet.

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.

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.

A traditional French Mediterranean grape, lately fashionable — light reds, classic Provence rosé component, characterful low-alcohol bottles in Chile and California.

White · Medium · Off-dry

Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.

Tannat-based reds from southwest France — inky, tannic, age-worthy, with notes of blackberry and tobacco. The wine for the cassoulet and the long winter night.

Burgundy's most generous white — rich, buttery, full of stone fruit and toasted nut. The Chardonnay you reach for when Chablis feels too austere.

The Côte de Nuits' quieter middle child — Pinot Noir between Gevrey's power and Chambolle's elegance, often a great value at Premier Cru level.
