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.

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.

White · Medium · Dry
Alsace's everyday white — Pinot Bianco's French expression, all apple, pear, and a soft mineral finish. The reliable house-wine alternative.
Why it works with Red Mullet
Alsace Pinot Blanc's body and acid balance Red Mullet's flavor profile.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tuscany's most serious wine — pure Sangiovese aged at least five years before release. Cherry, leather, tobacco, dried herb; immensely structured, immensely age-worthy.
Why it works with Red Mullet
Brunello Di Montalcino's mid-weight flatters Red Mullet without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
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 Grilled Red Mullet
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
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 Red Mullet
Chianti Classico's mid-weight flatters Red Mullet without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
The original Bordeaux region — gravelly soils producing both Cabernet-led reds and serious Sauvignon-Semillon whites. The reds are leaner and more savory than the Médoc.
Why it works with Red Mullet

Why it works with Red Mullet
Mâcon - Villages and Red Mullet make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
White · Light · Dry
Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.
Why it works with Red Mullet
Pouilly-fumé's bright acid lifts Red Mullet cleanly — the lean white strategy.
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.
Why it works with Grilled Red Mullet
Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.
White · Light · Dry
Sauvignon Blanc from the upper Loire, grown on flint and chalk. Citrus, smoke, and a mineral finish that hints at struck stone. The refined antithesis of New Zealand's tropical SBs.
Why it works with Red Mullet
Sancerre's bright acid lifts Red Mullet cleanly — the lean white strategy.
