  • Step #9 Wine note: Good crab is clean & fresh & pairs with almost anything.
  • Step #10 The challenge is the artichoke, as it is a notorious problem with wine.
  • Step #11 I recommend a racy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, as the herbal tones of the artichoke are accented by the herbal tones of the Sauvignon Blanc.
  • Step #12 I am particularly fond of the Terrace Heights Estate 2003 ($18).
