Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Shrimp on the menu? Try pairing 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 Skyfall Pinot Gris with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Pale straw in color with notes of mango, citrus blossom and banana in the nose. On the palate a medley of tropical fruit unfolds into tangerine, mango, grapefruit, and banana flavors. These tropical notes continue throughout the long and lingering finish.
