8. Rosa, a dry California ros, and Covenant, a kosher Cabernet Sauvignon. Jeff wrote Dean & DeLuca: The Food and Wine Cookbook and The Working Parents Cookbook. His recently penned wine book, Ros, A Guide to the World's Most Versatile Wine, appeared in bookstores in May. Below, Jeff pairs wine with this flavorful shrimp recipe.
9. Smoky shrimp, tangy arugula, and a cornucopia of citrus flavors find beautiful balance in the sweetness of the orange and the subtle licorice notes of the fennel. In Germany, they make wines that offer an equally glorious blend of brightness, pretty fruit flavors, and just a touch of sweetness. Any fine Riesling from Germany's Mosel would do well here. Typically, these wines are low in alcohol, which make them all the more ideal. Try Muller Scharazhofberger Riesling Kabinett (about $30). - Jeff Morgan
