While I was home for Spring Break, I decided to make dinner for my mom and myself. Because it is Lent and Friday I chose a seafood dish. The natural chef that I am, I decided to make popcorn shrimp with green beans and red potatoes. I googled what wines pair well with shrimp and I came up with a Brut Champagne.
This is a 2002 California Champagne. I thought it tasted great. My house reeked of shrimp after I cooked it in the oven, so it was tough to get that scent out of my nose to get any kind of aroma from the Champagne. The bubbles were a great pair with the shrimp. Although it wasn't the fanciest of dinners, I thought the Champagne made the dinner much more exciting and my mom was very pleased with how the dinner turned out. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out what kind of meal to make with what wine. This was a very fun experience.
