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 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 43 dollars.

Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Chardonnay

2013 was another stellar growing season in the Russian River Valley; warm spring, great flowering weather, and a long moderate ripening season. Our blocks for the Dutton Ranch blend were harvested between September 9 and October 11; the fruit was beautifully clean and ripe, and gave us wines with the acid backbone and luscious citrus and stone fruit flavors we so love from our neighborhood. This wine is about freshness and balance: in the nose it leads with Meyer lemon, pear and mineral notes, with tropical and ginger overtones. In the mouth, the lusciousness of this season is balanced by solid acidity and an evolving fruit core that keeps you coming back. Lemon sourball, ripe pear and a touch of green apple fill out the fruit profile, while the steely minerality and sweet cream add a complexity that we love in this wine. Moderate alcohol and the signature juicy acidity of Green Valley facilitate the fresh, lingering citrus/ginger finish. This is a wine that evolves in the glass and will easily reward 5 years of cellar aging, but both will be a challenge with its immediate allure.
