Our sommeliers suggest

Chardonnay Campagnola Veneto i.g.t.

Veneto, Italy

The Chardonnay Campagnola Veneto is a fruity, lively white from Veneto that brings freshness next to this corn and black bean rice. Its zippy, citrusy side does the same job as the lime wedge squeezed on top, and the sweet corn loves its fruit. A simple weeknight supper, no fuss, with a white that doesn't complicate anything.

Kettle Sour, Vox Populi

The spices, lime and vegetables in this Mexican-inspired rice call for a fresh beer rather than a powerful one. The kettle sour gives a soft citrus acidity that follows the lime and lightens the black beans. Veggie dish, 3% beer: the meal stays light to the end. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
