Pasta - White Sauce and Wine - Wine Food Pairings

What you'll find with most wine pairings is that the base material has NOTHING to do with the pairing. It all has to do with the sauce since the sauce brings most of the flavor. With pasta this is DEFINITELY true. The wine that goes with a heavy, rich red sauce won't go well with a delicate, cream sauce or a heavy garlic sauce.

A white, cream sauce in pasta is usually very mild and delicate flavored. Here you want to go with a white chardonnay or vidal blanc.
