Recommended wine: Lambrusco, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

Lambrusco, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc are my top picks for Macaroni and Cheese. With rich, cheesy mac & cheese you'll want to cleanse the palate with something crisp and acidic. We recommend Chenin Blanc, Riesling, or dry Lambrusco if you're in the mood for a red. You could try Venturini Baldini Montelocco Lambrusco. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

Venturini Baldini Montelocco Lambrusco

A single-variety wine of Salamino grapes, grown on clay-sandy soils. The grapes are harvested in the first ten days in September. Short Charmat method. Perceptible fragrance of herbs and juicy black cherries. Has a fresh, semi-dry flavor with light tannic sensations. Certified Organic.
