Pairing Tips
When adding any sort of “green” like pesto or arugula, go with a light bodied wine with some acid like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Sweet whites like Riesling or Moscato pair nicely with any sandwich with a spicy kick.
Light to medium-bodied red, with reasonable acidity like a Pinot Noir or Merlot works well with any combination of Cheddar and turkey, ham or bacon sandwich.
When in doubt go with a full-bodied white like Chardonnay. The wine complements the buttery bread. Bubbly goes with any cheese and sandwich, any time.
