St. Innocent Pinot Blanc Freedom Hill Vineyard
Willamette, Oregon, USA
White, Still
Pairing Idea: Oregon pinot blanc
The generosity and sweetness of the fruit in the wine matched with the crab. I thought it was going to be boring and too obvious of a wine for such a sophisticated dish, but I feel ashamed to have had that thought. I think it works pretty well. It's very pleasant, I'm blown away. I never ever would have chosen that wine for this dish, but having tasted it, I would now.
