Pinot Gris

Classic

White · Medium · Off-dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Crab Mousse

Pinot Gris's mid-weight handles Crab Mousse well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

White · Medium · Dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Crab Mousse

Riesling Spatlese's mid-weight handles Crab Mousse well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.
