Bright and citrusy flavors work best, avoid anything too sweet. Choose a Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Dry Gewürztraminer, Champagne, Syrah, Chianti, & Sangiovese.
Beer Pairing: Choose light-bodied & wheat-based. Strong hops & carbonation add a refreshing cleanse to the palate such as Ales, Lagers, Pilsners, & Hefeweitzen.
