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.

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.

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.

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 · 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 Lebanese-style Tuna Salad With Tahini Dressing
Full-bodied whites like American Chardonnay stand up to oily, rich Lebanese-style Tuna Salad With Tahini Dressing preparations.
Red · Light · Dry
Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.
Why it works with Lebanese-style Tuna Salad With Tahini Dressing
Light reds like Beaujolais can match Lebanese-style Tuna Salad With Tahini Dressing surprisingly well — especially with seared or grilled preparations.
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 Tahini
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.
Red · Medium · Dry
The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.
Why it works with Pork Kebab With Tahini Sauce
Warm Grenache complements grilled lamb, kebabs, and spiced rice.
White · Medium · Dry
Austria's national white — green apple, white pepper, faint celery; lean acid, medium body, and an uncanny ability to pair with otherwise wine-hostile vegetables like asparagus and artichoke.
Why it works with Baked Eggplant With Tahini Sauce
Austrian Grüner is the secret vegetable pairing — works with asparagus and artichoke when most wines clash.
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 Tahini
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Pork Kebab With Tahini Sauce
Off-dry Riesling is the pork wine — stone fruit and acid with the meat's natural sweetness.
Rosé · Light · Dry
The blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that fills every wine list in France for a reason — friendly, peppery, slightly rustic, made to wash down anything from grilled vegetables to lamb stew.
