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.

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.

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.

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 Chicken With Sage Dressing
Chardonnay matches chicken's mild richness — oaked for roast, unoaked for poached.
White · Medium · Off-dry
The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.
Why it works with Pork Loin Stuffed With Sage Dressing
Loire Chenin with pork is a French regional classic — apple, quince, and acid.
Red · Medium · Dry
The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.
Why it works with Corn Bread Dressing With Sage
Gamay: Grenache's mid-weight flatters Corn Bread Dressing With Sage without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
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.
Why it works with Turkey With Sage Dressing
Medium reds like Pinot Noir Or Gewurztraminer hold up well to Turkey With Sage Dressing, especially when roasted or grilled.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Cornish Game Hen With Sage Dressing
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.
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 Pork Loin Stuffed With Sage Dressing
Off-dry Riesling is the pork wine — stone fruit and acid with the meat's natural sweetness.
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.
Why it works with Chicken With Sage Dressing
Crisp white that lifts lighter chicken preparations with herbs and citrus.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Why it works with Cornish Game Hen With Sage Dressing
Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.
Red · Full · Dry
California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.
Why it works with Cornish Game Hen With Sage Dressing
Jammy Zin lifts BBQ-style and bigger-flavored preparations.
