Cava

Interesting

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.

Why it works with Smoked Peppers

Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.

Champagne

Interesting

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.

Why it works with Quesadillas With Smoked Mussels, Havarti, And Roasted Red Peppers

Champagne's bubbles and acid lift Quesadillas With Smoked Mussels, Havarti, And Roasted Red Peppers — versatile and palate-cleansing.

Chardonnay

Classic

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.

Why it works with Smoked Peppers

An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.

Pinot Noir

Classic

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.

Why it works with Smoked Peppers

A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Smoked Peppers

Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.

Sparkling Wine
