Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks 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. You could try Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 39 dollars per bottle.

Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee

This is Iron Horse's most romantic bubbly. We describe it as dangerously, deliciously easy to drink, fruit forward, dry and elegant, with tiny bubbles and a remarkabley long finish.
