Wine Recommendation: Stuckey: The 1998 Weingut Brndlmayer Grner Veltiner Kamptal from Austria is a lively white with loads of very ripe fruit and a big hit of pepper that echoes the flavor of the crackers.Triffon: The crunchy, peppery crackers call for a rustic, palate-cleansing red such as the 1996 Selvapiana Chianti Rufina from Tuscany.
