Pinot Noir

Classic 32 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.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic 31 dishes

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.

Syrah

Classic 6 dishes

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.

Everton White

Interesting

White · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.

Why it works with Cream Celeriac Tart, Witlof And Blue Cheese Salad

Everton White's body and acid balance Cream Celeriac Tart, Witlof And Blue Cheese Salad's flavor profile.

White · Medium · 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 Apple Salad With Blue Cheese Pistachios And Balsamic Dressing

Sauvignon Blanc or an Acidic White Blend's body and acid balance Apple Salad With Blue Cheese Pistachios And Balsamic Dressing's flavor profile.

Viognier

Interesting

White · Medium · Dry

The white grape of the Northern Rhône — full-bodied, peachy, faintly perfumed, with the texture of a quiet Chardonnay. Pairs with anything saffron-tinged or apricot-glazed.

Why it works with Salad With Sauce Pears And Blue Cheese

Viognier's body and acid balance Salad With Sauce Pears And Blue Cheese's flavor profile.
