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 Eighteen Miles Chardonnay. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 36 dollars.

Eighteen Miles Chardonnay

Winemaker Jessica Boone looked to the cool Sonoma Coast for this bright, complex Chardonnay. Light stone fruit, Meyer lemon and appealing minerality on the nose carry over onto a creamy palate balanced by vibrant acidity. Notes of vanilla and sweet oak enhance the wine's complexity. For the wines of Eighteen Miles, Jessica Boone (of Passalacqua Winery) sources grapes from nine distinct appellations all within an eighteen mile radius around Healdsburg, CA. Please also try Eighteen Miles Cab, Zin, Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah.
