Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Salad. 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. The Merryvale Carneros Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.

Merryvale Carneros Chardonnay

Our 2007 Carneros Chardonnay is concentrated and intense in style. Aromas of hazelnut, tropical fruit and ripe apple are framed by crisp minerality and sweet toasty oak. The wine is rich and creamy with a lingering finish. Our favorite pairing is cracked lobster with drawn butter and fresh lemon.
