Our wine stewards suggest

+- 15$ Velenosi Villa Angela Pecorino 2014

Most of us don't really know the Italian whites. Here is a wine that comes from a region called Le Marche in central Italy, elaborated with pecorino. Smells flowers and lemon!

+- 30$ Albariño Marques de Murrieta Pazo Barrantes 2013

An amazing Spanish wine created in the north-west region of this beautiful country, from Albarino, an exceptional variety of grapes. Nose is intriguint and different, with hints of ripe pears, flowers, honey. It is fresh and elegant!

Zusammenarbeit, Le Loup Rouge

This gose beer, both salty and acidulous, offers notes of wheat, coriander and lemon that will enhance the flavors of seafood. The acidity of the beer will cut into the fat of the cheese sauce and will offer a lactic taste.
