Fruit Salad can be paired with Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine. 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 Sonoma-Cutrer The Cutrer Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 37 dollars per bottle.

Sonoma-Cutrer The Cutrer Chardonnay

Aromas of Golden Delicious Apple, white peach, and nectarine are accented with nougat, honeydew, and brown sugar. Flavors of peach, apple, and crème brulee meld with hints of butterscotch, caramel, warm pie crust, and baked apple.
