If you’re thinking about serving chicken or seafood, these three wines will certainly compliment your dish.
Antinori Guado al Tasso Vermentino
Along the Tuscan coast is the tiny village of Bolgheri which delivers a wonderful 100% Vermentino wine with its inviting aroma of citrus fruit, minerals, and flowers with a hint of creaminess. Light-body and low acidity with a slight saltiness on the finish allows it to pair nicely with seafood. It also pairs nicely with spicy foods like a nice Cajun dish. This wine is crisp and refreshing and brings the best of a Sauvignon Blanc and a Chardonnay.
Anne de K Pinot Gris
From Alsace, France comes this elegant full-bodied Pinot Gris which is an excellent go-to wine. Notes of apricot on the nose create an inviting aroma. Very easy drinking which makes it ideal for an everyday wine. Pair this with fish or chicken or serve with a salad or a fruit and cheese tray. Looking for a nice gift wine? This Pinot Gris sure to please any palate.
Crozes-Hermitage La Petite Ruche Blanc
If you’re thinking of serving fresh seafood, you must try Crozes-Hermitage La Petite Ruche Blanc from M. Chapoutier. On the nose, green apples and soft melons with a hint of mineral invite to explore further. Crisp and light with a salty finish draws the sea out of any fresh seafood dish. This wine pairs very well with crab or boiled shrimp.
