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 Williams Selyem Unoaked Chardonnay with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 70 dollars per bottle.

Williams Selyem Unoaked Chardonnay

This 100% stainless steel tank fermented wine comes from older vines within the Russian River Valley. The cold fermentation produces aromas of ripe peaches, white nectarines, citrus blossom and fresh baked bread. It is dry on the palate, with refreshing flavors of pears, white peaches, mineral and Meyer lemons. The invigorating acidity and creamy textures provide this wine with the capacity to pair with a range of savory entrees or cheese appetizers.
