Wine Pairings
SHRIMP SKEWERS Pair it with: A fruity New World white. Sémillon sauvignon blancs, an Australian specialty, are the go-to wines for the region's Pacific Rim cuisine. The fruit character is fresh and vibrant, a great match with the exotic mango and shrimp. Our pick: 2010 Devil's Lair Fifth Leg Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Australia, $16.
