Seafood and Wines??

[misterjive]

Viva Italia, gotta represent for my Italian homies! Vernaccia would be awesome with most all of these dishes, and I have always considered it one of the best seafood wines in the world. Trebbiano could also work wonders with clams and mussels and fish, and go to a Gavi if you have a dish that is prepared with lots of olive oil and lemon. Finally, sometimes I think I'm the only non-Italian in the world to appreciate a refreshing bottle of frizzante, which, despite usually being NV, is effervescent and unpretentious and dry enough to bite into even the most oily of monkfish. (And, since monkfish is sometimes called "poor man's lobster," let me just say that I'm still waiting for my stockbroker--Stuart, from the Ameritrade ads--to buy me a lobster dinner!!!)
