Recommended wine: Albarino, Manzanilla Sherry, Verdejo

Albarino, Manzanilla Sherry, and Verdejo are great choices for Gazpacho. Though gazpacho is said to be a tricky pairing, all these Spanish wines can work. The Terras Gaudan O Rosal Albarino Blend with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
