Pinot Noir

Classic 5 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.

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.

White · Full · Dry

California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.

California and Oregon's answer to Burgundy — riper, more upfront fruit than the French original, with cherry, raspberry, and gentle oak. Sonoma and Willamette set the standard.

Why it works with Broiled Salmon With Onion, Tomato And Lemon

American Pinot Noir's mid-weight flatters Broiled Salmon With Onion, Tomato And Lemon without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Sherry's middle path — starts as Fino under flor, ages oxidatively when the flor dies. Hazelnut, salted almond, dried orange peel. Drink with hard cheese or rich stews.

Why it works with Smoked-salmon Pizza With Red Onion And Dill

Amontillado Sherry's concentrated style brings depth to Smoked-salmon Pizza With Red Onion And Dill; pour in small glasses.

Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.

Why it works with Broiled Salmon With Onion, Tomato And Lemon

Serve Beaujolais slightly chilled with Broiled Salmon With Onion, Tomato And Lemon; the lift makes the pairing feel right.
