Sauvignon Blanc

Classic 7 dishes

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.

Pinot Grigio

Classic 6 dishes

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.

Rosé

Classic 6 dishes

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.

White · Medium · Dry

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

Why it works with Spicy Shrimp With Andouille Sausage On Grits

American Gewürztraminer's body and acid balance Spicy Shrimp With Andouille Sausage On Grits's flavor profile.

Cabernet

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

Shorthand for Cabernet Sauvignon — full-bodied, structured red wine with notes of black currant, graphite, and cedar. The classic steakhouse choice.

Why it works with Shrimp And Grits

Cabernet's mid-weight flatters Shrimp And Grits without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Shrimp And Grits With Sausage

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Chenin Blanc

Adventurous

White · Medium · Off-dry

The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.

Why it works with Spicy Shrimp With Andouille Sausage On Grits

Chenin Blanc's body and acid balance Spicy Shrimp With Andouille Sausage On Grits's flavor profile.

White · Medium · Dry

Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.

Why it works with Folly Island Shrimp And Grits

French Chablis's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Folly Island Shrimp And Grits's natural sweetness.

White · Medium · 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 Folly Island Shrimp And Grits

Italian Pinot Grigio's mid-weight handles Folly Island Shrimp And Grits well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.
