American Sauvignon Blanc

Classic

White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

Why it works with Shellfish Paella Risotto

American Sauvignon Blanc's brightness handles Shellfish Paella Risotto cleanly; the acid lifts the dish, the body doesn't weigh it down.

Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Why it works with Shellfish Paella Risotto

Light reds like Beaujolais pair flexibly with Shellfish Paella Risotto — soft tannins, bright acid, food-friendliness.

Riesling

Classic

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 Shellfish Paella Risotto

Light whites like Riesling flatter Shellfish Paella Risotto's subtler grain-and-stock character.

Rosé Côtes-du-rhône

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Why it works with Shellfish Paella Risotto

Rosé Côtes-du-rhône's strawberry-and-citrus brightness pairs easily with Shellfish Paella Risotto.
