[chicagocris]

I'm having company, main dish is
Sea Food Medley Veracruzana (shrimp, scallops and mussels in a spicy tomato sauce with cilantro.) What wines shoud I get?

Hello chicagocris, Well I'm not shur about this one. Inkeeper will probaly give you some good advise. At first with the seafood I would say a Sauvingnon Blanc, but the tomato and spice might not help that pairing, maby a Reisling.

welcome aboard. That food sounds great. I think this one should be answered by some of the more experienced members who are "in the business".
I'd probably go with a Sams Adams.

A nice gewurztraminer from Alsace will do the trick. You should have no trouble finding one there in Chicago.

Hi Chicagochris and welcome to the board. We have lots of great Vera Cruz style Mexican restaurants here in the west and with their spicy red sauce and fresh cilantroI personally prefer a beer. Dos Equis or Tecate work for me. I've had some nice pairings with a simple Zinfandel like Cline. WW

I just finished dinner of pork chop and black beans in cilantro chile sauce. Gewurztraminer was my choice--and it worked well with the dish.
