Pairings

Wine for the food.

Pick the dish. We’ll name a wine that fits — and one that doesn’t.

Bird
Duck or squab
Richer than chicken, often with fruit or spice glaze. Pinot is classic; Pinot's cousins work too.
- Red Burgundy / Pinot Noir
  The textbook pairing — fruit, acid, silk.
- Barolo or Barbera
  Nebbiolo's tar and rose with gamey birds.
- Pinot-friendly Merlot
  Plum and velvet when the sauce is darker.
