Some highly recommended pairings: White: 2006 Gunderloch Kabinnett Riesling (Germany): Sweet hints of apricot and pineapple, nice clean, acidic finish. Went well with a shrimp entree. About $20 per bottle. Red: 2004 Cosentino Zinfandel (Lodi, California): Big and bold enough to stand up to a hearty red meat dish, but subtle enough to not overpower fish or vegetables. Hints of blackberry drive this delicious vintage. $27. 2006 3 Rings Shiraz (Australia): A slightly floral nose, but mild tannins help to bring a pleasant, woody finish. Excellent with shellfish and salmon. $20 per. 2005 David Bruce Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (California): Notes of cherry, earth, spice and oak. Perfectly balanced and playful. Loved it with ahi tuna. Loved a second bottle even more all by itself the next day. $41.
