#1
Lambrusco
4.4
(7)
"If you can find a good quality Lambrusco (NOT Riuniti), go for it."
"Try Lambrusco with ice. It’s tasty with pizza!"
"The answer is always Lambrusco."
"Lambrusco! it's so fun to drink."

Riesling
4.8
(6)
"I paired a BLT with a Riesling recently and it was sooo good."
"Off dry Riesling. Acid + that little kiss of sugar + salt and fat from bacon is just like the best thing ever. Rheingau preferred IMO."
"Dry Riesling."
"Reisling always go well."
"Riesling! kabinett or feinherb depending on how spicy."
"Buy a bottle of Riesling and lean into actually tasting and enjoying it rather than just slamming down a couple glasses."
#3
Barbera
4.2
(5)
"Barbera! One day Americans and Brits will conclude this should be the default everyday red."
"Then probably the barbera for a light and fruity option."
"Barbera, Montepulciano and Dolcetto are on my radar to try first!"
"I love a barbera, dolcetto, langhe nebbiolo, and barbaresco."
"My typical pizza wines are: - Barbera; usually I look for ones on the lower ABV side of the spectrum."
#4
Beaujolais
4.0
(5)
"A lightly chilled Beaujolais"
"Beaujolais for a veggie pizza, Chianti for meaty pizza."
"I like Beaujolais"
"If you want to go with a red avoid to tannic as it would struggle with the soup. Something like Beaujolais."
"I think your instinct is spot on. Really good selections for white and bubbles, and I agree that for red the best two are the Beaujolais and Zin."
#5
Champagne

#6
Chianti
4.5
(4)

"Italian, Chianti and Primitivo are sure way to go."
"Chianti is the classic pizza and wine choice."
#7
K&L
4.3
(4)
"If you value quality selections over free delivery, K&L wines and Benchmark are the way to go."
"K&L, Decant, Bottle Bacchanal, Gemini."
"K&L, wine.com (+1 for Stewardship), sommpicks, winebid, spectrum, winex. Not sure where you live but for California these are solid options that ship from in-state."
"I’d pick K&L for sure."
#8
