Riesling Chateau Ste. Michelle at Olive Garden comes from Washington State's founding winery, available for takeout at $26.25 per bottle and containing 620 calories. Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated wine estates, and their Riesling is among the most food-friendly wines in the American wine market. The wine is off-dry — meaning it has a touch of residual sweetness without being fully sweet like Moscato — with a distinctive citrus and floral character that works across a wide range of food flavors.
Riesling is considered by many sommeliers to be the world's most versatile food wine because its balance of natural acidity and varying sweetness levels makes it compatible with both high-fat cream sauces and bright tomato-based preparations. At Olive Garden, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling is the most sophisticated food pairing choice on the Wine and Beer to Go menu, providing a wine that actually enhances rather than simply accompanies the food. At $26.25, it represents a $1.50 premium over the base-tier wines and delivers that value in food-pairing versatility.

It works with Seafood Alfredo (where its acidity cuts the cream), Herb-Grilled Salmon, Shrimp Scampi, Zuppa Toscana (where the sweetness balances the spice), and Chicken Margherita.
