This blog has some information on wine that you can pair with your next order of famous crab cakes from Costas Inn. Read on to learn more!
Sangiovese
Unlike other types of red wines, which tend to overpower delicate flavors, Sangiovese red wines are light enough to go well with a seafood meal like crab cakes. Some people usually mix these light wines with cabernet to give them plant-based finishes.
Sparkling Wines
Experts have recommended Prosecco or a brut variation of champagne for a delicious and palate-cleansing option that is sure to please. Dry and crisp sparkling wines help clear your palate with every bite, making them the best fit for a crab cake.
Chardonnay
Chardonnay is a classic wine option that may be the perfect complement to crab cakes. Chardonnay is known as more expensive than other kinds of wines, but the flavor might go well with a fried crab cake, so keep this in mind. However, it can also complement other kinds of crab cakes.
Riesling
Riesling is a sweet wine and typically has a low alcohol volume. It pairs nicely with some crab cakes, and if you enjoy spice or hot sauce with your crab cakes, a Riesling wine is the perfect compliment to the increased flavor you add to your meal.
Sauvignon Blanc
This is an excellent wine if you are looking for a crab and wine pairing from a very recognized establishment like Costas Inn. It is the best accompaniment to a crispy and delicious crab cake because it is tart and tangy without being too sweet.
