Pairing: Fusilli with Spinach and Sun-Dried-Tomato Pesto

There are seven different subzones within the Chianti growing area, among them the famed Classico. The best choice for this pasta, however, would be a Chianti from Rufina, where the wines are crisper, with more vibrant fruitiness.

2009 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Sec Vouvray

Pairing: Grilled-Zucchini Subs with Fresh Mozzarella and Olivada

Vouvray, made with the Chenin Blanc grape from France's Loire Valley, tends to have herbal, smoky flavors that go particularly well with grilled vegetables.

2009 Fess Parker Chardonnay

Go to Recipe

Pairing: Pasta with Cauliflower, Peppers and Walnut Pesto

This nutty pasta dish needs a fairly substantial white wine to go with it (true of pastas with pesto in general). A Chardonnay with some oak aging will work, as oak's vanilla and spice notes go well with nuts.

2010 Alphonse Mellot La Moussière Sancerre

Go to Recipe

Pairing: Vegetable Sandwich with Dill Sauce

The grassy, herbal flavors of Sauvignon Blanc marry beautifully with dill. With this sandwich, the lighter and crisper the wine, the better the match will be. A Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé from the Loire Valley in France will do nicely.
