Pinot Noir

Interesting 10 dishes

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.

Champagne

Classic 8 dishes

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.

Chardonnay

Interesting 8 dishes

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.

Riesling

Classic 8 dishes

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.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 8 dishes

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.

Pinot Gris

Classic

White · Medium · Off-dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Teriyaki Salmon

Pinot Gris's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Teriyaki Salmon's natural sweetness.

Raspberry Merlot

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Why it works with Teriyaki Salmon

Raspberry Merlot's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Teriyaki Salmon.

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 Grilled Salmon Teriyaki

Dry rosé matches salmon's coral hue and oily texture beautifully.

White

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.

Why it works with Teriyaki Salmon

White's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Teriyaki Salmon's natural sweetness.

Rosé · Light · Off-dry

California's introduction to wine for an entire generation — slightly sweet, lightly fruity, easy to like. Pair with brunch, spice, or nothing at all.

Why it works with Teriyaki Salmon

White Zinfandel's dry, fruity profile matches Teriyaki Salmon without crowding it — a summer staple.
