Le Jade Picpoul De Pinet 2024, Midi A.O.P., France: Picpoul, sometimes called Folle Blanche, built its reputation on zesty acidity, and Le Jade's bottling shows exactly that. Citrus and orchard fruit dominate, with an herbal note tucked in behind. The finish stays crisp and mouth-watering throughout. It's practically made for shellfish and simple grilled fare. Steamed mussels or pan-fried freshwater fish would be an easy, classic match. Picpoul De Pinet food pairings: wieners and potato salad, pan-fried freshwater fish, fresh steamed mussels.

Mission Hill Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia V.Q.A., Canada: Mission Hill’s 2022 Reserve Cab Sav captures the valley’s dramatic season in a glass, blending 92% Cabernet with 8% Merlot for depth and elegance. Ripe blackberry and dark-currant flavors mingle with tobacco-leaf richness and a touch of clove-driven warmth. Firm tannins and lively acidity propel a resonant, lingering finish. Try it with coffee-rubbed pork tenderloin or a blue-cheese–topped burger for an inspired twist. Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: ribeye steak, pork roast, lamb kebabs.
