Works with Rangoons · Crab Rangoons
White · Light · Dry
Galicia's gift to summer — citrus, peach, salt air, and acid like a knife. Made for shellfish, paella, and any dish that involves the sea.
Why it works with Crab Rangoons
Coastal Spanish white with salt and citrus — built for shellfish.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
Why it works with Rangoons
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.
Why it works with Crab Rangoons
Bubbles and acid lift cold crab and crab cakes alike.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Crab Rangoons
Clean unoaked white that lets seafood flavor shine.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Rangoons
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Rangoons
Dry rosé is the most food-flexible bottle in the cellar.
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 Crab Rangoons
Crisp herbal white refreshes against crab's natural sweetness.
