Suggested Wines:
For Pasta alla Carbonara:
SPARKLING & VIVACIOUS CRISP ROSÉS and WHITES
As vivacious as Doris Day, these wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, but are always on the lighter and brighter end of the spectrum and never feature oaky flavors. These tangy wines of refreshment make ideal aperitifs and are remarkably versatile food partners.

VOLUPTUOUS RICH WHITES
As voluptuous as Marilyn Monroe, these heavier whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit and most also feature the added flavor complexity of new oak. Almost all of these opulent wines are quite dry and fermented in oak barrels, but a handful are lusciously- sweet late-harvested dessert wines.

For Umami Bolognese Sauce:
ELEGANT LIGHT-BODY REDS
As elegant as Audrey Hepburn, these are mid-weight reds made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics like red Burgundy. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share the lean, tart and dry European-inspired flavor profile that prioritizes food-friendliness.

SENSUOUS, SUPPLE MEDIUM-BODY REDS
As sensuous as Eartha Kitt, these mid-weight reds are ripe enough to offer plump fruit flavor but not heavy or tannic. The category includes most Merlots and our softer red blends, but also the ripest California Pinot Noirs and the lightest Cabernet Sauvignons. These crowd-pleasing reds are thoroughly modern – low in both acidity and tannin.

POWERFUL, BOLD FULL-BODY REDS
As powerful as Elizabeth Taylor, these are the boldest reds of the bunch – inky, age-worthy wines that are dense and concentrated in flavor. These strong, heavyweight reds tend to be premium wines from thick-skinned grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.
