Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Ginger Crab Cakes

Chardonnay's mid-weight handles Ginger Crab Cakes well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

Viognier

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The white grape of the Northern Rhône — full-bodied, peachy, faintly perfumed, with the texture of a quiet Chardonnay. Pairs with anything saffron-tinged or apricot-glazed.

Why it works with Ginger Crab Cakes

Viognier's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Ginger Crab Cakes's natural sweetness.
