Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Shrimp works really well 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 Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc

Showcasing expressive minerality, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc is marked by a powerful aromatic intensity and a wide aromatic spectrum, with herbal, citric and tropical notes. It is fresh on the palate, offering a crisp, tangy acidity and a juicy, citric finish. Pair with crab cakes, chicken tarragon or mussels.
