• Cabernet
Sauvignon, a classic red wine which usually has blackcurrant notes and strong
tannins. It goes well with game or any sort of red meat — particularly
strongly-flavored meat such as lamb — and grows in a variety of climates.
• Syrah,
or Shiraz, a wine with an aroma that depends on the terroir of wherever it’s
planted. The Syrahs that come from Napa Valley make a good pairing with spicy
barbecued meat.
• Chardonnay,
a white wine grape. Since 2005, California has almost 25 percent of Chardonnay
plantings. These wines are distinguished by notes of tropical fruit, and go
well with turkey, veal or any kind of seafood.
