Cava

Interesting

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 Bbq Spicy Shrimp

Bubbles work especially well with garlic-shrimp and fried preparations.

Champagne

Classic

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 Bbq Shrimp And Grits

Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.

White · Medium · 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 Wood Grilled Bbq Shrimp

Dry Riesling's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Wood Grilled Bbq Shrimp's natural sweetness.

White · Medium · 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 Wood Grilled Bbq Shrimp

Napa Sauvignon Blanc's mid-weight handles Wood Grilled Bbq Shrimp well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

White · Medium · Dry

Marlborough's signature wine — passionfruit, grapefruit, cut grass, gooseberry, with a snap of acid that practically clears the palate. Loud, refreshing, unmistakable.

Why it works with Wood Grilled Bbq Shrimp

New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Wood Grilled Bbq Shrimp's natural sweetness.

Pinot Noir

Interesting

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 Bbq Shrimp New Orleans

Serve Pinot Noir slightly chilled with Bbq Shrimp New Orleans; the lift makes the pairing feel right.

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 Cajun Bbq Shrimp

Off-dry Riesling tames Cajun heat and works with the seafood backbone of Louisiana cooking.

Zinfandel

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Cajun Bbq Shrimp

Jammy red with enough fruit to match smoked sausage, blackened meats, and dirty rice.
