The 2nd installment of our new Wine Pairing Illustrations is here + ready for your Monday cravings!

🍇Pairing #2 of our FIVE Girl Dinner Pairing Series includes a gorgeous textural white from our friends at Stolpman Vnyds.

🍯THE DINNER: Caesar salad, chicken nuggets, sliced nectarine, personal butterscotch pot de crème

🍑THE WINE: Stolpman ‘Uni’ White Blend
Uni White is a stunning blend of Roussanne + Chardonnay grapes. It’s somehow creamy and decadent (from the Roussanne) with an elegant + zippy foundation (from Chardonnay). And while this white would be ideal with raw fish, we think a savory salad with a scattering of crispy nuggets straight from the oven are also a perfect pairing! Toss a few slices of stone fruit on the plate and finish the bottle off with the kind of creamy dessert you want all to yourself.

🇬🇷Kicking off our FIVE Girl Dinner Pairing Series with one of top selling summer whites — The Semeli ‘Feast’ white (Moschofilero from Peloponnese, Greece) 🇬🇷

🫒THE DINNER: Hummus + crudité, pita chips, handful of Castelvetrano olives, a sleeve of shortbread Girl Scout cookies

🍋THE WINE: Seméli ‘Feast’ White
This white is lipsmackingly fresh!
👉🏻With notes of lemon, honeydew, honeycomb + summer florals, it’s the perfect companion to a Mediterranean inspired snack plate.
The racy nature of the wine cuts through creamy hummus + completes the summer vibe of crunchy veg and briney green olives.
Round that out with two or three (or ten) buttery shortbread cookies + you’re all set for a light dinner, preferably on a balcony at sunset.
