Pesto is perhaps the world’s greatest food for showing off light, leafy white wines. While a Sauvignon Blanc will certainly enhance the pesto and the beans, any other lightly herbal white wine will also do the trick. The addition of potatoes and pasta adds richness, which must be cut, so look for a wine with noticeable acidity. Dependable: Sauvignon Blanc. Daring: dry sparkling wine such as a Prosecco.
