WINE PAIRINGS

For egg salad, experience has taught me that you want bold fruitiness to counterbalance the mustard and horseradish here as well as sharp acidity to cut through the mayo. It helps, too, when you’ve got herbaceous notes to resonate with the dill and celery. New Zealand sauvignon blanc meets the criteria, though you can’t go wrong with almost any lean, crisp Mediterranean white. Lightly bitter pilsner is another good option. Beppi Crosariol
