Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio
Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are great choices for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 57 dollars per bottle.
Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut
The striking freshness and vivacity of the floral and fruity fragrances (yellow fruits and fresh fruits) take root, before giving way to subtle notes of vanilla and butter, lending the wine a fruity and consistent character. The notes of cherry plum, lemon and bergamot orange emerge first, then make way for the flowers of fruit trees, such as lime and honeysuckle. These are followed by notes of butter, madeleine cakes and vanilla sugar. Lingering notes of grapefruit, white peaches, green pears, apple trees and green hazelnuts round off the taste.
