Wine & Ham
Ham, with its sweet-and-salty richness, pairs best with wines that have a touch of sweetness, plenty of acidity and bold fruit.
Pinot Noir
Bright acidity and red cherry notes make Pinot Noir one of our favorites for pairing with ham. These fruity, medium-bodied picks are especially loved with smoked ham for beautifully rounding its sweet and savory flavors.
Riesling
With high acidity and a touch of sweetness, Rieslings are an excellent choice to pair with any type of ham. The fruity and floral notes of this zesty wine perfectly complement a glazed ham by cutting through its richness.
Rosé
The crisp acidity of Rosé provides a delightful contrast to the rich profile of ham for a perfectly balanced experience. The zippy minerality and fresh finish of Rosé varietals pair especially well with savory, smoked ham.
Syrah
Syrah wines burst with luscious fruit notes, pepper aromas, and medium-to-high acidity, making them the perfect partner to the salty, smoky flavors of baked or smoked hams. A delicious duet that's made for entertaining.
