Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, White Wine, Ingredient, Food Product Category, Sauvignon Blanc, Wine, Dry White Wine, Drink, Menu Item Type, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine are great choices for Taco 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 Sterling Heritage Collection Napa Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

Sterling Heritage Collection Napa Chardonnay

Balanced and complex, the Napa Valley Chardonnay layers fruit from several vineyards in the AVA, marrying the lush, bold ripeness of mid-valley with the richness and depth of Carneros. Bright, golden fruit opens the nose, rounded with notes of honey, caramel, baking spice and toast. A bold entry of lemons and ripe apple develops weight and viscosity as it evolves through the mouth. The barrel contribution leaves an almost-sweet almond impression across the finish.
