Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Loveblock Pinot Gris with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.

Loveblock Pinot Gris
Loveblock Pinot Gris is a pale golden with hints of green. The 2013 vintage is a dry style with floral aromas and a hint of ripe pineapple. The palate reveals poached pear and blood orange, and finishes with a touch of citrus, good texture and rich mouth feel.
