White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

Why it works with Broiled Eggplant With Provolone

American Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Broiled Eggplant With Provolone cleanly — the lean white strategy.

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.

Why it works with Provolone E

Cab handles aged hard cheeses with structure and grip.

Chardonnay

Classic

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 Provolone E

Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses.

Red · Medium · Dry

Sangiovese from Tuscany's historic heartland — denser fruit, longer finish, and a structure that rewards aging. The pizza wine, elevated.

Why it works with Broiled Eggplant With Provolone

A medium red like Chianti Classico is the safe everyday choice for Broiled Eggplant With Provolone.

Pinot Noir

Classic

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 Provolone E

Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.

Port

Interesting

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.

Why it works with Provolone E

Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table classic.

White · Medium · Dry

Burgundy's southernmost serious Chardonnay — sun-soaked, peachy, accessible. The thinking person's value white from the Mâconnais.

Why it works with Broiled Eggplant With Provolone

Whites are often underrated with cheese — Pouilly-fuissé's lift makes Broiled Eggplant With Provolone feel less heavy.
