Red · Full · Dry
Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.
Why it works with Stuffed Quail With Black Truffle Jus
Nebbiolo with white Alba truffles is the Piedmontese ritual — tar, rose, and umami.
Red · Medium · Dry
Pinot Noir (red) or Chardonnay (white) from the world's most expensive dirt. Translucent, perfumed, ethereal at the top of the hierarchy; honest and pleasant lower down. Drink slowly, with reverence.
Why it works with Stuffed Quail With Black Truffle Jus
Burgundian Pinot and truffles are the apex pairing — both about earth, restraint, and depth.
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.

Chardonnay's body matches poultry's mild richness.
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 Stuffed Quail With Black Truffle Jus
Light red that flatters white meat without overwhelming it.
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.

Crisp white refreshes lighter poultry preparations.
