DOESN'T WORK
Picayune Sauvignon Blanc
Napa County, USA
White, Still
Pairing Idea: California sauvignon blanc
This specific wine gets crushed by the crab cake. I do think that the aromas and the idea of the wine could work well. But this wine is a bit inconsequential, easy going. You need more oomph. Another in this genre could work. That said, it is a total contrast to the crab cake, which is fun, but it's a contrast of bright, fresh, exuberant, refreshing flavors vs the crab cake's generosity and unctuousness and sinfulness.
