Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Muscadet, Gruener Veltliner

Crawfish can be paired with Sparkling Wine, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Though different seafoods can certainly call for different wines, generally a crisp, light-bodied white wine or a sparkling white wine will do the trick and not drown out any subtle flavors. You could try Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 60 dollars per bottle.

A golden color, distinctive of black grape varieties. Very fine bubbles. On the nose, it has a beautiful aromatic complexity, ripe fruit and spicy aromas, with hints of roasted apples, apple compote and peaches. On the palate, there is a subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity. The bubbles are like velvet. Flavors of pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut.Pair with all fish, especially sushi and sashimi, shellfish such as shrimp, prawns, crayfish and grilled lobster, poultry and white meat, cashews, parmesan or prosciutto.
