DOESN'T WORK
Lioco Chardonnay Sonoma County
USA, Sonoma County, California
White, Still
Pairing Idea: Unoaked chardonnay
I thought this would be great, but it's not. The crab cake has more generosity of flavor, sweetness and body than the wine. The wine falls short, despite it being high flavor and acidity, it lacks in comparison to the crab cake and it does not have the body to stand up to crab cake.
