Wine
I would pair this with an old fashion Verdicchio wine. These wines are making a comeback and can range in price from $15-47 dollars. The taste conjures up visions of the swells of the Adriatic, they are great wines to pair with lighter seafood’s such as shrimp, lobster, mussels and oysters (wine information provided by Karen).
