Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine produced from the grape variety of the same name. In North and South America, New Zealand, and Australia, it goes by the name of that grape, and bottles tend to be labeled as Sauvignon Blanc. In France, however, that is generally not the case;

The wines of Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre, for example, are produced from Sauvignon Blanc by law, yet they are labeled with the name of the appellation as opposed to the grape. Meanwhile, white Bordeaux (or Bordeaux Blanc) is typically a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with some Muscadelle as a common addition, even though those grapes won't typically be found on the front label.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is a white grape variety that is widely planted around the world. It has an almost preternatural ability to both express the land in which it's grown and showcase the style of the winemaker. Because of that, Chardonnay can be a bit of a chameleon, covering the full spectrum from crisp and refreshing to velvety and generous. It's even one of the main grape varieties responsible for Champagne. No matter where your tastes fall, there is a Chardonnay that will likely fit the bill.

Moscato

Moscato is a divisive wine, often lauded for its fruity sweetness or derided as cheap and unsophisticated. However, Moscato is a complex wine with several diverse varieties and flavors, and consumers are starting to catch on, given the wine’s impressive growth in popularity in recent years. A good Moscato can be essential to a wine enthusiast’s collection, whether served alongside spicy food, as a light aperitif, or as a floral dessert accompaniment.

Moscato Food Pairings

Moscato is traditionally sipped alone or with a light dessert, but its characteristics as a sweet and light white wine offer a variety of food pairings.

The Best Moscato Food Pairings

Naturally, Moscato pairs exceptionally well with any dessert. Its crisp, light flavor and low alcohol content can also stand up to spicy foods. Salty foods, such as cured meat or strong cheeses, are known to pair well with Moscato.

Food Pairings to Avoid with Moscato

While Moscato will taste great no matter the meal, it is often difficult to pair with any main course due to its sweet fruity essence. This is especially true of fatty meats and heavy, rich dishes. Stick to appetizers, desserts, or sweet brunch dishes to ensure a successful Moscato pairing.

Merlot

I am a connoisseur of red wine, and Merlot is one of my favorite varietals. I appreciate its versatility, as it pairs well with a wide array of foods.

Merlot is one of the world’s most popular red wines, and America’s second favorite after Cabernet Sauvignon. Known for its soft, sensual texture and approachable style, it’s made from red-skinned grapes that can adapt to a variety of climates to produce food-friendly wines in many price points. Merlot can be velvety and plummy, or rich and oaky. There’s something for everyone, which is why Merlot is adored

Fun blend with a taste of licorice! I wish I could find more from this year.

realised yesterday just how often hozier actually used to sing about being not quite alive, not feeling like a person, about loving someone in a way that defies death and made him more alive, about suffering death for love. it's like he was constantly being buried underground and unearthed by love, over and over, which, while romantic in a way, is also incredibly sad. but i think it's interesting how his latest album (literally called 'unreal unearth') takes this idea and makes it its central theme. that's what this album is, one man's descent into the underworld. except, crucially, he makes it to the other side, and ends the album saying the darkness will come again, but this time he is "never going back [to hell] again." it feels like such a full-circle moment considering the rest of his discography and i'm so very excited to see what comes after this
