Spicy seafood dishes

[joeyz6]

Would anyone have a recommendation for a French wine to go with a spicy shrimp and pasta dish? How about spicy seafood in general?

I'd use something non-spicey, to avoid crashing into the cuisine's spices... at least, until the food flavors could be better defined. Something like a cheapo Sauvignon Blanc comes to mind. If that works, then upgrade to a Sancerre. If not, try a Chenin Blanc.

Chenin Blanc would be my choice--good fruit and good acid. You'll find them in the Loire section--Vouvray would do it.

A crisp sparkler would also do the trick. Blanc de Blanc.
