Root Vegetable Galette with Sunflower Seed Salad

Nicholas Bazik, chef, The Good King Tavern, Philadelphia

Chloé Grigri, general manager and wine director at Philadelphia’s The Good King Tavern, opened the restaurant with her French-born father in 2013. Alongside Chef Nicholas Bazik’s galette—a riff on a classic crustless French potato galette—Grigri recommends Clos du Tue-Boeuf’s 2015 Pineau de la Loire, the Loire Valley’s traditional name for Chenin Blanc. “This stony, ripe, funky-fresh Chenin complements the earthiness of root vegetables,” says Grigri. “While its austere soul and dancing acidity slice right through the sweetness of the beets, its slight pétillance adds a textural element to the otherwise smooth galette.”
