20 Best White Wine For Cooking Shrimp Scampi (2023 Updated)

Off-dry impression*. Nose and palate of roses and lychee, then dried apricot and fresh stone fruits, some white flowers too and finally some darker subtle notes of smoke/spice. Velvety, sumptuous mouthfeel.

Good QPR; beautiful wine experience. *Some reviews complain that this wine is too sweet. If you want a bone dry wine experience, you’re better off buying wine made from a different grape varietal altogether.

It’s normal for a technically dry (little to no residual sugar) Gewurtztraminer to be so full and fragrant that it still imparts the IMPRESSION of sweetness. This is a good wine that’s well made; just be aware, learn your grapes and don’t listen to the naysayers.

Vintage 2019 – If you like unoaked Chardonnay, you will love this wine. Even when it is not very intense in the nose, it is possible to enjoy the aromas of pear, yellow apple, melon, lime and some flower’s notes.

Fresh palate, with good acidity and pretty mineral. A good choice to pair with seafood, fish and fresh salads.

I had never heard of Pinot Blanc until recently traveling to Colmar, France. I decided to try it and loved it. I am always looking for a dry white wine but most of the Chardonnay’s are too oakey and Sauvignon Blanc is too tart for my taste.

This is a nice change but unfortunately too expensive to drink all the time.

Had this at a 4th of July dinner. The hosts told me how wonderful it was but really, its nothing. Pick something from alto adige, to get something with more flavor and acidity.

Taste and aroma was perfect with our seafood meal of scallops, crab meat and shrimp. Perfect combination.

Delicious and light; with or without food; great with clams in red sauce

I’ve ordered this particular product from the Total Wine in Akers Mill Square about two to three times a month. About 25% of the time, the wine has been spoiled. I’ve been able to take it back in to the same pickup location to replace the damaged product until recently.

The store manager expressed, rather loudly, that I was the only individual in his entire region region that has complained and returned the Black Box Malbec and he would no longer allow these exchanges.

I felt this was handled unprofessionally and, although the price is more expensive, I have since chosen to go to a local liquor store.

Trial and error led me to my tasty el cheapo cabernet sauvignon dinner wine, but I tried this when I learned malbec is a lot richer in antioxidants and other health factors than cabs. Luckily I think this is delicious—bright, hints of structure, concentrated enough—a pleasant glass for dining.

Total’s price was unbeatable and not everybody carries the malbec.

This was the first box wine I’ve ever tried. Black Box Chardonnay made me fall in love with Chardonnay. I used to not be big on white wine but my favorite white wine is Chardonnay. The alcohol content is pretty high.

I also love the price. Kroger prices this wine the best for I believe 16. 99. Box wine also last a while so I would recommend this wine for a fun weekend with friends.

A great refreshing moscato! Very Sweet. It’s almost like your drinking juice… Which can go down a little fast. Good price point. Makes my mouth water thinking of it!

Nice with a meal or by itself. Needs to be chilled for best flavor

A nice summer wine with enough strength to blend with a fruit mix to make a white Sangria. Easy drinking, with pear/apple overtones.

It’s SB, not distinctive, not very full flavored. Easy to drink. I can get better for less. Attractive packaging, I could bring it to a friend’s house, and they probably wouldn’t realize I was being frugal.

Paired this with seafood and it was refreshing! Great price too! Also went with our surf and turf theme. It is like biting into an apple , you get that crisp feeling except i believe there was a pear taste in here.

Not dry, it was perfect for my family. my mother doesn’t drink wine and she loved this! It is not too sweet either, i can’t stand sweet wine.

Very nice flavors; enjoyable alone or with cheese and fruit. Look forward to sipping more of this when the weather turns warmer but also during the winter as a nice change from pinot noir and when eating fish or chicken.

Secco, minerale, di buona sapidità.

So my opinion is a bit perplexed. So firstly I would like to say the positives first. Great price for how much wine it comes with. It is a lighter chardonnay compared to other creamier chardonnays. It is not favorite by far , because it’s not potent enough, it takes to much consumption.

For me to get a buzz which is an key component to my liking of an wine. I would recommend this for light weight drinkers or beginners. More experienced drinkers would probably prefer a different brand.

J.

I know it’s among the more “cost effective” wines, but I think Carlo Rossi is great. And clearly these bottles were stored properly, because they were delicious.

I like it because of the crispness and not too dry. Doesn’t have the after taste like most Chardonnays

I found this rather bland even for a “cheap” wine. After reading all the positive reviews I’m a little underwhelmed. This is the kind of wine I expect to drink at a wedding as it was picked not to offend anybody.

I didn’t enjoy drinking it at home. It sits thick on the tongue with zero of the crispness you’d expect from a Pinot. It’s not sweet, it’s just not good. I would not recommend unless you drink wine for the alcohol and not the taste of good wine.

I would not buy again.

I tried this the other night with my boyfriend and the first gulp I took. tasted like straight throw up. I had my boyfriend try it and he agreed. Not only did it taste like throw up but smelled like it too.

I’m very disappointed.

The Pino and Moscato are my fave!! Have been for years. Love the flavors in every bottle!! Always keep a bottle on hand.

I went to a brew pub and tried a sparkling Pinot Grigio for the first time. It was very expensive (I thought). By the time the bubbles went down in the glass (after the pour) you we left with half the amount of other wines without bubbles.

I decided to go on a search for something similar. What I found was better! Barefoot’s Sparkling Pinot Grigio is wonderful. The price is less than a deflated glass at the brew pub and this is better.

I purchased enough to give as gifts for all the ladies that were with me the night we first tried it and we are in agreement that this surpasses the one we loved that evening. Total Wine has wonderful service.

I’ll be back, and my friends asked me where I purchased, so they may too. Thank you.

My husband and I enjoyed this bubbly version of Pinot Grigio for our 13th wedding anniversary. We toasted over regular PG the evening we became engaged so we have done the same for most of our anniversaries, but this bubbly is a nice step above.

I’m not a regular drinker, but this is something I will keep coming back to for special occasions. Already ordering another bottle.

For the price you can’t do any better. A poor person’s imitation prosecco. For under $7 you can’t do any better. On the sweeter side with effervescence that’s over almost as soon as it hits the glass.

But for the price, how do they do it? For something totally unpretentious, get it! What do you have to lose?.

Pale gold color. Dry, but not austere. Delicate flavors. Well balanced acidity. A nice, easy quaffer that should appeal to most everyone. Better than I expected it to be. Review 69 A word about how I use these five star ratings – I recognize that people have wildly different tastes, and I recognize that there are many different styles of winemaking for each variety of grape.

I also recognize that most bottles of wine have been well crafted. That said, it is unlikely that we will encounter a truly bad bottle of bad wine, but it is inevitable that we will encounter wines that are not to our taste.

Just because I don’t like a wine does not mean it is a bad wine – it will appeal to someone. When I give a wine five stars, it means that I liked it, it met my expectations, and I will buy it again. If a wine does not meet my expectations, yet seems to be well made, I will probably give it three stars, and explain why the wine was not as I expected.

I will also leave a comment so that you might determine if the wine will appeal to your taste.

Overall Bin90 fruity Moscato is my favorite wine. I purchase about once a week from my local HEB. I even have my friends hooked and a few of followers on Snapchat went to purchase because I posted about it so much.

The flavor is sweet fruity which I love about it. I’m not a fan of bitter wine. I adore the labeling of the bottle as well, my favorite color is purple. Nice gift to give or even to a girls night. I even paired with fruit (raspberries/ strawberries).

This is my favorite wine to drink when I’m in the mood for a sweeter white wine. I like this one because it’s not too sweet like a lot of other moscato wines. It’s one of those wines that taste great cold but still tastes good room temperature.

I like to add strawberries to the bottom of my glass for a little extra boost!.

The 2019 we tasted over the past few days is an unusual product. If I apply normal criteria to it, this would be a summary of its somewhat questionable attributes: smells and tastes of apple sauce or juice, slightly “sweet & sour”, with a few hints of difficult to identify flowery scents.

The various flavors compete for your attention, but they don’t blend harmoniously. As a wine it’s hard to take it seriously, however, as a drink it’s acceptable, just as a glass of nice cider would be.

My detailed evaluation returns 2. 3 stars, perhaps too generously. What do we drink it with? It will clash with seafood, but it may be enjoyable with nuts, desserts, blue cheese, or dried fruit. No, it’s not a wine you want to serve with a high-quality meal, but it’s a nice drink.

If it were meant to be an aperitif, it might deserve three stars. [My rather demanding scoring system expressed in stars is not price-dependent but it means: 1 star – don’t drink, 2 – marginal, 3 – worth trying to quite good, 4 – very good to almost excellent, 5 – excellent through absolute perfection.

I accidentally stumbled upon this wine while being out of town looking for another wine that was out of stock. Trying this one instead, it has now become one of my top favorites. No after taste and fresh to drink, I am enjoying this newly found fave of mine.

Reasonably priced ranks it in my top 3! Highly recommend!.

Pure delight in a bottle! Can’t wait to bust a bottle open on the balcony when the weather warms! Slightly bitter in the best way and will warm you up and break the ice at any social event! You will be busy taking sips in the corner and heading back to the bar making social distancing no thing! Semi fruity with that pungent aftertaste that we long for after a long day at the office.

Weekends or weekday warriors alike, all my gal pals can agree on this bottle.

I actually really enjoyed this for a cheaper commercial wine. It’s a little sweet, but doesn’t kill you with too much sugar. I definitely get citrus notes in the flavor. Paired great with seafood, but was also equally as good on its own later on.

I would buy this again.

Loved this! It’s definitely on the fruitier side though for Sauvignon blanc. If you want something crisper I’d go another wine, but this was still tastey

I’m drinking this right now! It paired wonderfully with my chicken nuggets and exhaustion and it continues to go very well with convalescing on the couch. I will drink it here, I will drink it there, I will drink it anywhere (as long as I don’t have to drive).

I promise I’m good. Just tired of quarantine, and I’ve read a lot of Dr. Seuss lately.

Menage a Trios Exoctic Blend is really good. This is a blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Moscato and is semi-sweet. It is light, crisp blanaced and pairs perfectly with summer and seafood😉. This bottle can be purchased for about $14 a bottle, so it won’t break your budget.

This was my first try but the next bottle would be perfect to mix up a white fruit sangria. *Note, when you scan this bottle, it comes up as the Menage a Trios Blanc. #happyhour.

*note I’m reviewing exotic blend. It’s a nice semi-dry wine. This is one wine I like drink semi-frozen. lol This bottle is something I would drink again. price for this one was honestly less than $11 very cost effective.

you’re somebody who enjoys semi dry wines this is something I would definitely recommend to you. The only issue is that the barcode for the Exotic scans as the Blanc, please fix. #wino #happyhour.

Pretty great tasting wine. Doesn’t taste cheap but still a decent price. It was sweet and not too strong of a flavor. I would recommend

I’m not into sweet sweet wines anymore, so I usually avoid Moscatos. But this brand is the perfect balance. It’s not overly sweet and it’s very smooth. Will keep this stocked in my home along with my Red Blends and Pinot Grigio.

This moscato is a great inexpensive wine for all of the white wine lovers like myself. It has a light and refreshing fruity taste. I love the packaging because the bottle is super cute. I highly recommend this!.

Delicious for a white wine lover such as myself. The fruity flavors shine thru and make it the perfect sweet blend. One of my very favorites.

Great bang for your buck. Obviously it is not in a higher price range moscato but for the price, you just cannot go wrong. Honestly, taste quite similar to some of the pricier brands of moscato I have tried save for a slight aftertaste.

The alcohol percentage, price point, and drink ability makes this my go to for budget wines. This is a great brand that unfortunately I only recently discovered after moving to the mainland. They did not gave this in Hawaii and just as well as something tells me the price would have somehow matched everything else, expensive! Lol.

Get yours today and have an awesome time at the pool;).

This is probably the best cheap wine I have ever tasted. I got it for $2 at walmart and I was intrigued at the price and saw other reviews that it taste very good, so I had to give it a try. For the price, this wine is absolutely amazing.

Taste very sweet and fruity and has quite a large alcohol percentage, which no one can really complain about. Worth the try and price!.

This wine is amazing, I’m actually drinking it as I write this review. Great taste and great smell. If you’re looking for an inexpensive wine to get you relaxed and in a great mood, this is the wine for you.

I went to Wal-Mart today just to get a few household items and stumbled across this great wine. I was a little shocked when I saw that it was only 2. 96 at Wal-Mart but when it’s chilled?? OH MY GOODNESS.

I was looking for a Pinot grigio that was This is a medium bodied wine that has a crisp, white fruit aroma, that matches its taste. Very clean finish. Pairs well with salads and white meat, to include seafood.

Definitely serve this wine chilled. This is also a good start for those new to the wine world as well as those that shy away from white wine.

If you are like me, you’ve been searching for a decent, reasonably priced Italian Pinot Grigio and been routinely disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It wasn’t too dry and had a nice, very distinctive flavor.

While it should be served chilled, it kept its nice flavor even after the bottle sat on the table for an hour or so. When I tried the left-overs the next day, it still retained its pleasing flavor. I know there are higher priced versions similar to this but I would suggest you start here and, maybe, save a couple of dollars for a very decent wine.

My new favorite! Crisp, not too dry with a hint of sweetness- excellent with fish.

Always searching for this at my local target. It’s on sale a lot too which is great for me. It’s crisp and delicious. Recommend to everyone, try a couple ice cubes in the glass as well. Don’t judge me for that.

My husband picked this up for me. I had switched back to wine after giving it a break for awhile, due to headaches. I thought I would try Sauv Blanc this go around. Like others have said, it is perfect for weekdays, weekends, any time really.

And NO headaches as of yet, which makes this a win/win!.

Bought when Bota Box Original Sauvignon Blanc was out of stock. I was pleasantly surprised! Fresh, bright and a a happy effervescence.

This is my go-to for any box wine! Good taste, very light and drinkable. Not as grassy as the New Zealand Sauvs if you’re looking for that, but worth purchasing for a group gathering.
