Red · Medium · Dry
A medium-bodied dry red in the European tradition — bright red fruit, soft tannins, and a savory finish. The everyday house wine of much of southern Europe.
Why it works with Lump Crab Cakes
Red's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Lump Crab Cakes.
White · Light · Off-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 Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes
A bright, lean white like Riesling is what Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes wants: refreshment between bites.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes
Sauvignon Blanc's racing acid and lean body lift Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes without competing — the textbook seafood-and-white-wine logic.
