American Sauvignon Blanc

Classic

White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

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 Grilled Shrimp With Feta, Cilantro And Lime

Serve Beaujolais slightly chilled with Grilled Shrimp With Feta, Cilantro And Lime; the lift makes the pairing feel right.

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.

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.

Champagne's bubbles are made for Grilled Shrimp With Feta, Cilantro And Lime — palate-cleansing, briny, the classic shellfish pairing.

Chardonnay

Classic

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 Lime Cilantro Shrimp

Chardonnay's body matches richer seafood preparations.

Pinot Grigio

Classic

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 Lime Cilantro Shrimp

Clean unoaked white that lets shrimp's flavor shine through.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Lime Cilantro Shrimp

Dry rosé bridges shrimp dishes from cocktail to scampi to grilled.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic

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 Lime Cilantro Shrimp

Crisp Sauvignon Blanc is the textbook shrimp pairing — lemon notes echo shrimp's natural sweetness.

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

A catchall for white wine generally — covers everything from a $10 weeknight pour to grand cru Burgundy. Match the bottle's weight to the food's weight; rarely fails.

Why it works with Cilantro Lime Shrimp

White Wine's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Cilantro Lime Shrimp's natural sweetness.
