Shrimp on the menu? Try pairing with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Grgich Hills Estate Sauvignon Blanc ( half-bottle) with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
