Wine note: Napa Valley winemaker Jeff Morgan produces Solo
Rosa, a dry California ros, and Covenant, a kosher Cabernet Sauvignon. Jeff wrote Dean & DeLuca: The Food and Wine Cookbook and The Working Parents Cookbook. His recently penned wine book, Ros, A Guide to the World's Most Versatile Wine, appeared in bookstores in May. Below, Jeff pairs wine with this flavorful shrimp recipe.
A punggent, full-flavored dish such as this one calls for an equally full-bodied wine as a pairing partner. The chimichurri sauce, redolent of cilantro, parsley, lime juice, and spices, needs an uncommon wine with pedigree to refresh the palate. Try Trimbach Pinot Gris from Alsace (about $17). - Jeff Morgan
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
