Always baffled by what to order with a salad? The Bacon, Tomato & Roquefort Salad with bacon batons meets its match in a 2020 German riesling, the Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken Butterfly . What if you are craving the brie-topped Beef Wellington but don’t want to shell out $30 for the recommended Bordeaux blend? No problem.
