Sushi rewards precise, high-acid white wines. Here are three from our shelf. Prices are as listed on our site on October 30, 2026, when all three were in stock.
Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. It's our go-to for a mixed roll spread because a crisp, dry white goes with most things on the table.
An Italian Chardonnay from Oltrepò Pavese. If your table is leaning toward richer bites, like shrimp tempura, salmon nigiri or creamy rolls, this is a good bet. At $24, it's also the easiest yes of the night.
A $20 Sauvignon Blanc that suits a weeknight sushi spread of nigiri and rolls.
A note on red wine and raw fish: many people find that tannic red wine clashes with raw fish, so we stick to whites with good acidity.
If you're treating the meal as a special occasion, the Tenuta Mazzolino BLANC 2012 Vintage at $80 is also on our shelf. Ask us about it in the shop.
Off Premise is at 1128 W Armitage Ave, Chicago. Stop in and we'll pull the right bottle for your dinner, or order online for pickup.
