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 Gamble Family Vineyards Gamble Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Gamble Family Vineyards Gamble Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Lively aromas of honeyed elderflower, spiced apple and citrus marmalade. Crisp and refreshing acidity married with an unctuous oily mouthfeel support flavors of baked pear, lime and jasmine. The finish is long with complex mineral, white pepper and citrus notes.
