Crawfish etouffee / wine

i would do a crisp white, and also consider serving a light green salad with a subtle citrus type dressing. That and the wine will work nice with the butter and spice of the etoufee.

Open to anything under $20.

I like a nice Oregon or Washington state pinot gris with spicy food. Chateau Ste. Michelle, from Washington state, makes a nice pinot gris for about $12.00. The 2007 is out and it's very good. It has enough acidity to cut through the richness of the etouffee, but it's not an overly complex wine so the flavors won't clash.


If you want something a little different, you might consider a viognier. Costco has the 2007 Zaca Mesa Viognier for around $13.00 and it's well worth the price.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas.
