White · Medium · Dry

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

Why it works with Spicy Blackened Catfish

Off-dry whites like American Gewürztraminer are spicy food's best friend.

Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.

Why it works with Spicy Blackened Catfish

Light reds like Beaujolais pair flexibly with Spicy Blackened Catfish — soft tannins, bright acid, food-friendliness.

Verdicchio

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Marche's quietly excellent white — apple and almond, a faint bitterness on the finish, and unusual ageability for an Italian white. Try the Castelli di Jesi Riserva.

Why it works with Spicy Blackened Catfish

Verdicchio's acid handles the heat of Spicy Blackened Catfish; off-dry styles tame chiles especially well.
