DOESN'T WORK
Rombauer Vineyards "Carneros" Chardonnay
USA, California
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
The wine is a bit overbearing with this dish. There is an unctuousness, butteriness in the wine, which is not terrible, especially when you go from the wine to crab cake, but when you go back to the wine, the wine is too big and overbearing. It's big and aggressive.
