1) Parmesan Reggiano + Pinot Noir (light fruity red) 2) Morbier + Sancerre (ie: Sauv Banc = acidic/dry) 3) Albarino + White bean Dip Also, can you explain why these work? THANKS!

Spanish Whites with a Seafood Paella?
Methinks an Albarino would be a good choice. Burgans Rias Baixas Albarino is always a good bet. You could also go with a few sparklers. Something like Cordoniu Cuvee Raventos Brut or Marques de Gelida Brut Exclusive. Lots of good...

Txacoli in NYC?
Try Crossroads on 14th St. If you don’t find it, try an Albarino. Also from Spain, a great white w/seafood (Valdemor my fave).
