What wine with salads and starters?
Food and wine pairing · classic benchmarks: the preparation and your taste come first.
Crudités, quiches, warm goat cheese, asparagus: vinaigrette and greens harden red wines. A lively Sauvignon white or a dry rosé covers the whole starter repertoire.
White
Sauvignon's acidity answers the vinaigrette's instead of suffering it.
Rosé
Dry and light, it follows composed salads and summer starters.
How to use these pairings
A good pairing balances the dish and the wine: neither should dominate. The suggestions above are proven classics for the category, not rules: the preparation, the sauce and your taste matter more. When in doubt, the regional pairing (the wine from the dish's homeland) rarely fails.
