Our sommeliers suggest
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!

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.
