Cheers: Ready for pairing

September means plump, sweet white shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico, the return of tailgating and the last few weeks of lingering heat. We need wines that fit these conditions and pair neatly with the foods of late summer. This selection shines: Marques de Caceres. Lovers of white wine have long gravitated to the Spanish/Portugese varietal Albarińo/Alvarinho for its luscious, old-world complexity and food-friendliness. But as good as Albarińos are in general, this one stands tall. The green-golden hue reveals a blast of stone fruit—notably peach—a creamy texture and a silky finish. A great cheese wine, it also pairs nicely with bacon-wrapped shrimp. Click here for two other seasonal recommendations.
