Your Shabbat table is a royal event. Treat it like one. Here's my ultimate game plan for flawless challah dips.

Quick answer

Serve a cold, bone-dry Sauvignon Blanc with challah dips. My pick is Anthony Girard's L'Indiscrète Sancerre: its high acidity slices through olive oil and tahini, so every bite tastes fresh.

What's missing? Cold Sancerre. Specifically, Anthony Girard's L'Indiscrète Sancerre.

When you eat heavy olive oil and rich tahini, your mouth gets tired. The high acid in this Sauvignon Blanc acts like a blade. It completely cuts the fat and resets your palate for the next bite.
