Wine Pairings:
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.

Chardonnay
This Vegetable Coconut Curry recipe is both sweet and spicy and needs to be offset by a nice lightly oaked Chardonnay. Since the flavors of the dish are on both sides of the spectrum, you need the wine to be able to stand up on its own. A Chardonnay can do just that!
