Tagine-style sticky chicken

The Yarra Valley produces some interesting chardonnays, and this one balances the sweet prunes and tangy olives of the dish. It’s ripe but doesn’t succumb to the palate-tiring pitfalls of many chardonnays from hotter climates. Our pick: Little Yering Chardonnay, Australia, $11.
