Potent pairings Every type of mushroom has its perfect wine match. But you don’t have to play matchmaker anymore. Here’s a quick and easy guide to pairing the best wine with your favorite mushroom dish. - Rule of thumb A delicate or medium mushroom texture should go with a wine of a similar body and profile for peak flavor potential. - Lion’s mane As a common substitute for lobster or crab in vegan seafood dishes, Lion’s mane pairs well with Pinot Grigio and White Rioja. - Portobello If there ever was a mushroom made for red wines, it’s the portobello! Whether you grill, sauté, or bake your portobellos, their intense meatiness requires a wine with equally intense character. - Morels Fresh morels have a smokiness that’s perfect for grilling — and they pair well with white wines, like Riesling or Champagne.
