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 Sizzling Shrimp Scampi
Albarino's racing acid and lean body lift Sizzling Shrimp Scampi without competing — the textbook seafood-and-white-wine logic.
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 Sizzling Shrimp Scampi
Chardonnay's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Sizzling Shrimp Scampi's natural sweetness.
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.

Serve Pinot Noir slightly chilled with Sizzling Shrimp Scampi; the lift makes the pairing feel right.
