Veuve Fourny 1er Cru Grande Reserve Brut
Côte de Blancs, Champagne, France
White, Sparkling
Pairing Idea: Dry and crisp Champagne
It's good but not great--the wine overtakes the crab cakes. The crustiness of the crab cake matches really well with the toasted bread characteristics of the wine and there's a sweetness of fruit that goes back to sweetness of crab meat. The bubbles and high acidity are good.
