A Taste of Wine Red, White, and Wine! Whatʼs the best wine to celebrate Independence Day? While beer is often the refreshing beverage of choice on the 4th of July, wine is increasingly more popular as a relaxing, summertime refreshment. Weʼll be grilling up shrimp on the 4th and while grilled shrimp pairs well with all types of whites and rosés, by pairing the wine with the accompanying sauce, you can really make a great match. Sauvignon Blanc with Herby Flavors - Zesty Sauvignon Blanc has those slight green flavors that are terrific with herbs in sauces like salsa verde and pesto. These whites are also light enough to pair with shrimp in simple vinaigrettes or green salads. Whites with Spicy or Tropical Flavors - If shrimp are served with a spicy Asian-style dipping sauce, a slightly sweet Riesling is your best choice. The Riesling can also be great with fruit salsas, like mango. You can also try semi-dry versions of Chenin Blanc which are richly textured whites that often have luscious fruit flavors. Rosé with Roasty, Savory or Pungent Flavors - Lighter French-style rosés are a great catch-all wine for simple grilled shrimp preparations. You almost canʼt go wrong. Theyʼre also terrific with rich sauces, like aioli or compound butters. If your shrimp are baconwrapped or served with a rich, roasty sauce like Spanish romesco, a slightly fuller bodied, fruity rosé is just the thing.
