Our favorite go-tos
Weekdays are hard enough without the added decision of which wine to pair with dinner. On those busier evenings you want something uncomplicated but delicious that you can drink with anything. For reds that means something warming and familiar with enough lift to elevate what you’ve made for dinner. And for whites you want something balanced and clean that you can sip on while cooking and isn’t going to overshadow your meal.
Now, when it comes to reds there’s plenty to talk about. Grapes like Pinot Noir are easy go-tos because they tend to have a little more acidity which is perfect for food. The Leah Pinot Noir from Seresin is a fantastic option from New Zealand. Well balanced tannins with notes of clove in the background are endlessly comforting. Blends like the Maître de Chai, Red Table Wine are lovely too because they go with absolutely everything.
Believe it or not, we go through the same struggle when it comes to choosing the perfect weeknight bottle. That’s why we’ve put together a list of everyday staff favorites. Click here for the full list!
