Fortified · Full · Sweet
Sherry's driest, lightest style — aged under a yeast veil (flor) in oxygen-free conditions. Bone-dry, briny, almondy; the perfect tapas wine, served ice-cold.
Why it works with Seafood Bisque
Fino Sherry's concentrated style brings depth to Seafood Bisque; pour in small glasses.
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 Seafood Bisque
Light reds like Pinot Noir can match Seafood Bisque surprisingly well — especially with seared or grilled preparations.
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 Seafood Bisque
Sauvignon Blanc brings citrus and a mineral edge that flatters Seafood Bisque's delicacy.
