Shellfish

• March 2010

  Completely correct re: Vermentino. My wife and I tasted Vermentinos ... beautifully with fish or shellfish. Equally appealing as a light summer afternoon wine on its own.... Better than a cold beer in the hot sun

  ..and Muscadet sur Lie is indeed wonderful stuff with fish and shellfish! I love the almost salty flavor it seems to bring to meals.

  Rocca di Montemassi Vermentino 2008

  excellent with shell fish or grilled chilean sea bass. tastes like 7up mixed with lemon-infused vodka.

Read moreFibo, I can talk LOTS about allergic reactions.. whoo hoo! But first, what ... it, but I am allergic to shellfish. Who knows? The next evening, I drank a chardonnay that I had many times in the past. My nose proceeded to swell again, but not as bad. More benedryl. Being a person who has suffered from seasonal allergies to grasses, gotten shots, gotten horrible reactions from shots, I am pretty well versed in the allergic dynamic. (I am now on the sublingual drops for my pollen allergies.) I knew I had to stop the wine for awhile, and let my immune system calm down. This was also during my pollen season, which is when it is common to have foods or other items cause reactions that they do not at other times of the year. I went a few weeks with no wine at all, then had a white I was used to having. No problem. I "baby stepped it" after that, drinking maybe only 1/2 glass to see how things went. All seemed to go ok, and I have not had a similar problem since (this was ~3yrs ago). However, I avoid that particular winery's wines like the plague! Too bad, it is good wine! BTW- found out from my allergist a few things: Firstly, white wines have more sulfites than reds. Some people are sensitive to sulfites, and they will also have trouble with other things, like salad bar items (tomatoes) or tomatoes on restaurant sandwiches (some places use sulfites to keep veggies looking fresh longer). Other things too... just can't remember. Secondly, red wines are higher in histamines. Give ANYONE enough histamine, and they will exhibit an allergic like reaction. So if a wine happens to have a higher histamine level, you can experience allergic symptoms. Similarly, if you are already having allergy issues, and take in something with histamine, you can "tip the scales" to a full blown allergic reaction. Thirdly, once you have an allergic reaction to something, you can be in "strirred up" mode for several weeks. I once took a medication and got hives all over. This continued for 2 months, after I took ANY med.. even advil. They finally gave me a cortisone shot and it went away. I just avoid that medication, but I can still take all the others.... I hate being allergic    (hide)

  Crisp and mineral-driven. A touch of oak without the vanilla of Chardonnay. My ... Sancerre, goes great with shellfish or mild grilled fish

  Pazo de Senorans Albarino 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Very well described here. An excellent accompaniment w/shellfish. A nice change of pace from the Sauvignon Blancs of Marlborough. A little more difficult to find though...so get it here and take it with you. Enjoy!

  Coincidentally I had an excellent Pouilly-Fumé from Francis Blanchet last ... wines were excellent with shellfish and a stuffed roast capon. Can't really ask for more..
