What is the best wine to serve with this dinner?





I am making shrimp primavera pasta (ingredients: garlic, asparagus, lemon zest, Romano cheese and parsley) and a salad (ingredients: Bibb lettuce, sesame seeds, shallots, red wine vinegar, radishes and cucumber).





A white wine, probably...but I've heard that it's difficult to match wine with dishes that include asparagus because of the taste. And I'm really not much of a wine connoisseur...please help!|||My first choice would be a fruity, crisp Sauvignon Blanc. However, a dry Riesling could also work.





I recently had a very crisp Chardonnay that would work. Get a clean tasting one (not oaked).

|||The worst white wine with asparagus is Chardonnay, which not only tastes vegetal, but also exaggeratedly oaky. Serve it with Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.|||don't serve wine serve vodka it gets u drunk faster.|||A Pinot Grigio will go well with your meal, it will be a clean, crisp break from the heavy sauce and will not be overpowered by the asparagus. Plus it will bring out the natural sweetness in the pasta and shrimp.|||I completely agree with Caroline's suggestions for a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio (though I'm not big on Pinot Grigio in general), but would absolutely NOT eliminate Chardonnay - I see it considered a classic pairing for asparagus. It is definitely not a vegetal varietal. In fact, Sauvignon Bland is much more "green" often described as grassy, vegetal and herbaceous.|||RED WINE WOULD DO|||The only wines that go with asparagus are Alsatian: Riesling, Pinot Blanc, etc.





However, seeing as asparagus is only a minor part of the dish (and the cheese will be the main protein), go with a Pinot Grigio, Arneis or Vernacchia with it and enjoy!





Hope this helps.|||Not many white wines can stand up to a pasta primavera or a vinegar-y salad without being overwhelmed. Why not break with tradition and try an Italian red, like Barbera, Chianti, or Barbasco.
