Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Unoaked Chardonnay

Pinot Grigio and Unoaked Chardonnay are my top picks for Fettuccine Alfredo. Creamy, cheesy, buttery alfredo dishes can pair beautifully with an unoaked chardonnay or a pinot grigio. The La Crema Monterey Pinot Gris with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

La Crema Monterey Pinot Gris

Nectarine, Bosc pear, honeysuckle and wet river stone aromas. Melon, yellow apple and Meyer lemon flavors. Lively acidity with a lengthy, but refined finish. This wine is great alongside light salads, especially with vinaigrette dressings, and light pastas, especially with seafood or lemon. Try a gooey camembert cheese and definitely prosciutto with it!
