Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

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 · 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.

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.

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
California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.
Why it works with Fried Salt Cod
American Gewürztraminer's mid-weight handles Fried Salt Cod well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.
White · Light · Off-dry
Washington and Finger Lakes Rieslings split the difference between Mosel delicacy and Alsatian heft — bright stone fruit, modest sweetness, lively acid. A natural with Thai, Indian, and anything off the spice rack.
Why it works with Fried Salt Cod
Salt air, lemon, and stone — American Riesling's profile mirrors what Fried Salt Cod is reaching for.
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.
Why it works with Salt Cod Pork
Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.
Loire Cabernet Franc at its most refined — pencil-shavings, raspberry, and a flint-stone finish. The bistro red of choice; equally good chilled in summer.
Why it works with Salt Cod Balls
Chinon and Salt Cod Balls make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Red · Medium · Dry
Loire Cabernet Franc at its most refined — pencil-shavings, raspberry, and a flint-stone finish. The bistro red of choice; equally good chilled in summer.
Why it works with Salted Cod Croquettes
Chinon Red's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Salted Cod Croquettes.
Provence rosé at its most classic — pale, dry, Mediterranean, with strawberry, citrus, and a saline finish. The wine of Provençal lunches.
Why it works with Cod Salt With Garlic Oil And Cream
Côtes de Provence and Cod Salt With Garlic Oil And Cream make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
