Champagne

Classic 6 dishes

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Pinot Noir

Classic 6 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.

Chardonnay

Classic 5 dishes

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.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 5 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.

Alsace Pinot Gris's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Pasta With Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche And Dill's natural sweetness.

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

Why it works with Grilled Cucumber Soup With Smoked Salmon And Dill

American Gewürztraminer's mid-weight handles Grilled Cucumber Soup With Smoked Salmon And Dill well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

Red · Medium · Dry

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.
