Pinot Grigio

Classic 6 dishes

White · Light · Dry

Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 6 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 Romaine Shrimp Salad With Roquefort Dressing

Bubbles work especially well with garlic-shrimp and fried preparations.

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 Romaine Shrimp Salad With Roquefort Dressing

Chardonnay's body matches richer seafood preparations.

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 Italian Romaine Salad

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

White · Medium · Dry

Austria's national white — green apple, white pepper, faint celery; lean acid, medium body, and an uncanny ability to pair with otherwise wine-hostile vegetables like asparagus and artichoke.

Why it works with Fennel And Romaine Salad

Austrian Grüner is the secret vegetable pairing — works with asparagus and artichoke when most wines clash.

Merlot

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Why it works with Albacore Tuna Salad Wrap With Roma Tomato With Romaine Lettuce And Dijon Mustard And Mayonnaise

Merlot's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Albacore Tuna Salad Wrap With Roma Tomato With Romaine Lettuce And Dijon Mustard And Mayonnaise.

Sparkling · Light · Sweet

Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.

Why it works with Strawberry Romaine Salad

Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.

Pinot Noir

Interesting

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 Albacore Tuna Salad Wrap With Roma Tomato With Romaine Lettuce And Dijon Mustard And Mayonnaise

Serve Pinot Noir slightly chilled with Albacore Tuna Salad Wrap With Roma Tomato With Romaine Lettuce And Dijon Mustard And Mayonnaise; the lift makes the pairing feel right.

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 Italian Romaine Salad

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

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Strawberry Romaine Salad

Off-dry Riesling with fruit-forward dishes echoes stone-fruit and orchard notes.
