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.

Sauvignon Blanc
This Vegetarian Bibimbap recipe, has light flavors that would mesh well with a cool crisp white wine. I would choose a light white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc wines are not over-oaked and they have a nice crisp element. Follow the link to our wine review site to find our favorite Sauvignon Blanc wines-LetsHaveWine.com
