Red · Medium · Dry

Pinot Noir from Burgundy — translucent, perfumed, ethereal at the top tiers; honest and pleasant lower down. Drink slowly, with reverence.

Why it works with Drunken Shrimp

French Red Burgundy's mid-weight flatters Drunken Shrimp without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

White · Medium · Off-dry

Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.

Why it works with Drunken Shrimp

Gewurztraminer's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Drunken Shrimp's natural sweetness.

Syrah

Adventurous

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Drunken Shrimp

Syrah brings dark fruit and grip to Drunken Shrimp — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
