Chardonnay

Classic 7 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.

Pinot Grigio

Classic 7 dishes

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.

Cava

Interesting 6 dishes

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 6 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.

Albarino

Interesting

White · Light · Dry

Galicia's gift to summer — citrus, peach, salt air, and acid like a knife. Made for shellfish, paella, and any dish that involves the sea.

Why it works with Crab And Shrimp Bisque

Coastal Spanish white with salt and citrus — built for shellfish.

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.

Why it works with Shrimp Bisque

American Chardonnay's richness pairs surprisingly well with Shrimp Bisque — especially when there's butter, cream, or oil involved.

White · Medium · Dry

Alsace's everyday white — Pinot Bianco's French expression, all apple, pear, and a soft mineral finish. The reliable house-wine alternative.

Why it works with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Bisque With Shrimp And Romano Cheese

American Pinot Blanc's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Roasted Red Bell Pepper Bisque With Shrimp And Romano Cheese's natural sweetness.

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 Roasted Red Bell Pepper Bisque With Shrimp And Romano Cheese

American Riesling's delicacy.
