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 Crawfish Etouffeee
Coastal Spanish white with salt and citrus — built for shellfish.
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 Crawfish Etouffeee
Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.
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 Crawfish Etouffeee
Chardonnay's body matches richer seafood preparations.
Red · Full · Dry
California's misnamed powerhouse (no relation to Syrah) — inky, tannic, with notes of blueberry and black pepper. Built for the heaviest dishes on your table.
Why it works with Crawfish Etouffee
Petite Sirah's structured tannins frame Crawfish Etouffee; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Crawfish Etouffeee
Clean unoaked white that lets seafood flavor shine.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.
Why it works with Crawfish Etouffee
Pinot Gris's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Crawfish Etouffee's natural sweetness.
Red · Medium · Dry
A medium-bodied dry red in the European tradition — bright red fruit, soft tannins, and a savory finish. The everyday house wine of much of southern Europe.
Why it works with Crawfish Etouffee
Red's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Crawfish Etouffee.
White · Light · 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 Crawfish Etouffeee
Crisp herbal white is the all-purpose seafood pairing.
Red · Medium · Dry
Spain's signature red — bright cherry, dusty earth, and a touch of vanilla from American oak. Soft enough to drink young; structured enough to age beautifully in the right cellar.
Why it works with Crawfish Etouffee
Tempranillo's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Crawfish Etouffee.
White · Medium · Dry
A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.
Why it works with Crawfish Etouffee
White's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Crawfish Etouffee's natural sweetness.
