Instructions

Cut both ends off the grapefruits and stand the grapefruits on a cutting board. With a paring knife, trim off the peel and white pith from the grapefruits, removing as little of the grapefruit flesh as possible. Working over a bowl, cut the segments free of the membrane, letting the segments drop into the bowl. After you've cut all the segments, squeeze all the juice out of the membranes into the bowl. Refrigerate the segments in the juice until needed, up to 2 hours.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. One wine you could try is Macauley Old Vine Zinfandel. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 52 dollars.

Macauley Old Vine Zinfandel

With an initial bouquet of raspberry and a recurring note of maple, this is a full-bodied wine with freshness and acidity. It has an inviting layer of spice and hints of freshly baked cherry pie. A high-wire balancing act of weigh and freshness.Blend: 92% Zinfandel, 8% Petite Sirah
