Pinot Noir

Classic 9 dishes

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.

Chardonnay

Classic 8 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.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 8 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.

Rosé

Classic 7 dishes

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.

Amarone

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

Veneto's heavyweight — dried grapes give wines of remarkable concentration, raisin, dark fig, and a faint bitter-chocolate finish. Sip with hard cheese; never with a salad.

Why it works with Chicken With Port-mushroom Sauce

Amarone's structured tannins frame Chicken With Port-mushroom Sauce; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.

Champagne

Interesting

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 Chicken With Port-mushroom Sauce

Champagne-method sparkling like Champagne with Chicken With Port-mushroom Sauce is the open secret of every great restaurant.

Chianti

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.

Why it works with Chicken And Portobello Bruschetta

Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.

Dolcetto

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Piedmont's everyday red — soft, plummy, low-acid, gulpably friendly. The wine you reach for when Barolo feels like a commitment.

Why it works with Chicken With Port-mushroom Sauce

Medium reds like Dolcetto hold up well to Chicken With Port-mushroom Sauce, especially when roasted or grilled.

Prosecco

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Off-dry

Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.

Why it works with Chicken And Portobello Bruschetta

Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.
