Caprese Salad on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chianti. 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. You could try Pro-Bono Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.
