DOESN'T WORK
Fausse Piste "Mineral Selection" Viognier
Washington, USA
White, Still
Pairing Idea: viognier
You need more acid in the wine. Both are bass notes. There's nothing to punch the dish up. There's tannin. There's an unctuousness and generosity of fruit available to the crab cake, but it needs more support.
