What is a good but inexpensive white wine to pair with seafood pasta?

Question

I am making my husband a nice dinner tonight for his birthday. We have a new baby so we are on a budget. I would like to spend about $10 a bottle (give or take a few dollars). I don't know anything about wine, so if you could help me out with a good one to pair with a shrimp linguini, that would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

Italian food, italian wine...

you definitly want to go with a Pinot Grigio. My wife is an Italian chef and I am the resident wino,,,so please dont go with sauvingnon blanc! There are lots of Pinot Grigio's in that range from $4 to $10 per bottle. Go to liquor store and ask the people working there what they have in stock..get one from italy or california only, put a little extra garlic and a hit of cayanne pepper in the dish to spice it up,,,and put the wine in the freezer for about 45 minutes before serving to have it be extra cold

Answer 2

Reisling

Sauvingnon Blanc (my fave)

Chardonnay

Go to the grocery and to the wine section.  Look for anything that is on sale.  $10 per bottle can get you a pretty decent bottle.

Answer 3

Veramonte (check spelling) makes a great Sav. Blanc for @9.00

It goes well with seafood.

You also may like a sweeter wine like a reisling.  Biltmore Estates has one for @11.00

Lockwood chardonay , which would be richer than the above is @ 11.00

there's three to try!
