  • Erath Pinot Noir Oregon Red Wine 14.99 1 x 750 ml
  • A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir Oregon Red Wine 17.99 1 x 750 ml

Why it works: For roasted chicken thighs with delicata squash and asparagus, Pinot Noir is the right lane: enough acidity for the chicken, red-fruit brightness for the squash, and earthy lift for the asparagus. For a dinner for 2, one 750 ml bottle is the appropriate size. I’d lean Oregon Pinot here since it feels seasonal and regionally fitting for Washington, with fresher acidity and savory notes that suit the dish better than plusher California styles.
