Had a great white wine in a restaurant from Pompeii, Italy...

Two Torrontes Wines to Tango
I tasted the Bodgas Norton at WINE the other night, nice gewurtz-llike nose, liked it enough to buy a bottle to try it with a meal. Also picked up an organic Santa Julia at Vintage Berkeley. Maybe Torrontes is the new Falanghina.

Wine Pairing for Shrimp in Pesto Cream Sauce?
A quality Vermentino di Gallura from Sardinia or a falanghina from Campania for white I think is best. Bubbles always work. Rose would go pretty well. Red? I’d probably stay away as well.

what to pair with spaghetti with bottarga?
I’d go with something like Falanghina, or maybe a Tocai? Something with a touch of richness and roundness of fruit to offset salt and garlic, but good acidity through the palate.
