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.
Why it works with Walnut Coffee
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
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 Walnut Coffee
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.
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 Strawberries And Whipped Cream Mounded Between Walnut Coffee Cake Layer.
Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.
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 Walnut Coffee
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
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 Walnut Coffee
Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

Sauternes is the dessert wine — honey, apricot, and acid with custards, fruit, and crème brûlée.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port aged in cask for years, taking on nutty, caramel, dried-fruit character. The 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year designations are the most reliable indicators of style.
Why it works with Strawberries And Whipped Cream Mounded Between Walnut Coffee Cake Layer.
Tawny's caramel and nut notes mirror nutty, caramelized desserts.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.
Why it works with Strawberries And Whipped Cream Mounded Between Walnut Coffee Cake Layer.
Port handles richer, chocolate-and-toffee desserts with depth.
