Wine Pairings

Ricotta and plum crostini

RICOTTA-PLUM CROSTINI Pair it with: A crisp, cool white. This bright and refreshing sauvignon blanc from Bordeaux – mostly known for its reds – is a perfect complement to the ricotta and tangy balsamic. Its flavours also mirror the green, peppery arugula. Our pick: 2010 François Lurton Sauvignon Blanc, France, $12.

Side Dish: Maple-balsamic arugula salad
