Barbera

Interesting

Red · Medium · Dry

Cava

Interesting

Sparkling · Light · Dry

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

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 Tequila Marinade

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

Chianti Classico

Interesting

Red · Medium · Dry

Sangiovese from Tuscany's historic heartland — denser fruit, longer finish, and a structure that rewards aging. The pizza wine, elevated.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Why it works with Tequila Marinade

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 Tequila Marinade
