WINE & BOILED CRAWFISH
Posted on 3/31/15 at 6:30 pm

OK - I like frigid cold beer with mine. But some folks want wine (whining for wine....) Is there a type of wine that goes with this? I thought maybe a white (maybe pinot grigio). Or a spritzer. Any ideas? Requested for my husband's family --- not mine.....

I love wine but not with crawfish. I'd only have a rose or sauvignon blanc.

Maybe New Age White. Has a little fizz. Served over ice with lime it is called a Tincho. Good summer drink.

Mt guess is a riesling would cut the spice and pair with the seafood

I always serve beer with boiled seafood, but if I had a guest who asked for wine I would serve a nice chilled Sauvignon Blanc. Joel Gott, Geyser Peak, Simi, Chateau Ste. Michelle (Washington State) and St. Supery all make delicious, inexpensive sauvignon blanc.
Or maybe a nice Spanish Albarino.

Rose might work, but I wouldn't drink anything but beer with my crawfish.

Cheap white sangria would be my guess, but I've nevr had anything with crawfish other than beer.

Find a vinho verde. Whole Foods and other spots sell one by La Famega. It has a slight effervescent quality and great acidity and its like 8.99 a bottle.

Any type of Cava which is a dry Spanish sparkling wine like Champagne.

Trust me on this if you please...the best pairing for boiled crawfish is a white with a touch of residual sugar but not sweet. Kabinett or trocken spatlese Riesling, Oregon pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc/Viognier blends would be common go to wines. Too acidic and you take away from the spiciness of the dish. The acidity from the lemons commonly used in boils will ad to this as well and these wines will elevate the natural seafood flavors of the mud bugs in a positive manner. Cheers!

A sweet Riesling or sparkling wine.
