White, Still
Pairing Idea: Canary Island white wine
There's a very good contrast between the grapefruit and lemon flavors in the wine and the richness of the crab cake. If you use the lemon squeeze on the crab, the pairing result echoes the lemon flavor. Also the salinity in the wine, almost volcanic, matches very nicely with the shellfish. Both have very high flavor intensity. There's a good creaminess in the wine. The flavor and weight of the two match. Pretty good.
