Tomatoes with wine: Parcel 104's Master Sommelier, Randall Bertao, likes wines with clean, focused flavors and a medium acidity to balance the tomatoes--such as Charles Melton Rosé 2004 (Barossa Valley, Australia; $12) and Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc 2005 (Russian River Valley, CA; $27).

We have been making this recipe for years. I start thinking of it as soon as the first vine-ripe tomatoes are ready. If you don't have all the right components, it's still good; but if you can get great, fresh ingredients, the end result is well worth your investment in time. The basil aioli is the critical component that really makes this special.
