Pinot Grigio

Classic 4 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.

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 Fish In Foil With Sweet Onions, Tomatoes, And Mojo Verde

American Pinot Blanc's mid-weight handles Fish In Foil With Sweet Onions, Tomatoes, And Mojo Verde well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

Why it works with Pork Chops With Sweet Curried Onion

American Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Pork Chops With Sweet Curried Onion cleanly — the lean white strategy.

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 Stilton Sweet Onion Tart

Cab handles aged hard cheeses with structure and grip.

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 Stilton Sweet Onion Tart

Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses.

Chianti

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.

Why it works with Gnocchi With Fall Squash, Carmelized Fennel, Sweet Onion, Pecorino And Arugula

Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.

Sparkling · Light · Sweet

Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.

Why it works with Green Mango With Jalapeno , Sweet Onion Salad

Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.

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 Stilton Sweet Onion Tart

Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.

Port

Interesting

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.

Why it works with Stilton Sweet Onion Tart

Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table classic.
