Winning Wines Portland OR

When it comes to choosing a wine to enjoy with dinner, grabbing the first bottle off the store shelf is a pricey gamble for both wallet and taste buds--but how else do you manage to get out of the store in under half an hour? To take the guesswork out of your gourmet summer meals, we sampled the top-rated bottles under, and set about pairing them with your favorite WD recipes. Whether you're looking to enjoy a low-key weeknight at home or planning a swanky summer soirée, all you have to do is pick the most delicious-sounding pairing--then sit back, sip and savor the season.

Grooner Grüner VeltlinerThe fruity notes (think citrus and apple) in >Grooner's crisp, refreshing >white mingle beautifully with the juicy mango in our >Thai Mango Chicken, while its slight dryness balances the chicken's sweetness perfectly. You'll need only three ingredients--and 20 minutes--to whip up this dish, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy a second glass. Serve the chicken over lettuce or rice for a light, delicious weeknight dinner.

Milbrandt Traditions RieslingThere are plenty of overpowering Rieslings on the market--happily, >Milbrandt's Traditions >Riesling is not one of them. Striking the perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, this rich, juicy white with hints of apricot works nicely with spicy Asian-inspired dishes. Try it with our >Szechuan Noodles with Pork or >Wasabi Almond Catfish with Roasted Baby Squash, which offer the perfect flavor counterpoints.
