Gewurztraminer

White · Medium · Off-dry

Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.

Pouilly-fumé

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.

Why it works with Spicy Mussels In White Wine

Pouilly-fumé's acid handles the heat of Spicy Mussels In White Wine; off-dry styles tame chiles especially well.

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.
