We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.
Pinot Grigio Wine
This Fried Mozzarella Salad recipe goes great with Pinot Grigio. The lemon notes of the wine pair well with the fried cheese and peppery arugula. A Pinot Grigio is also a medium to full-bodied wine, with a rather low acidity and fairly neutral aromas.
