Vegetarian Pairings

Pairing: Veggie Burgers with Pomegranate Ketchup

Rich rosés work well with flavorful vegetarian burgers.

Moreau’s basic Chablis is a knockout, defined by a silky texture and vivid green apple flavors.

Pairing: Cherry Tomato Tart with Basil

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.

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.

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.

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.

The warmth of Australia’s Barossa Valley provides the plush depth; good winemaking keeps the flavors focused.

A satiny, herbal, citrusy wine that offers a taste of Loimer’s refined style at an affordable price.

Pairing: Spicy Avocado-Cucumber Soup

Pairing: Summer Squash Pizza with Goat Cheese and Walnuts

Sauvignon Blanc's herbal citrus character goes well with goat cheese and summer squash.
