* Recipe: Grilled Shrimp Gyros With Herbed Yogurt Spread
July 2002: page 168

Scott's Wine Suggestion:
This recipe epitomizes a great summertime recipe. First, there's grilled shrimp. Is there anything better this time of year? When you add the creamy Herbed Yogurt Spread, you've got something that's refreshing and full of flavor without being too heavy. The wine you choose should embody these same elements--clean fruit flavors with a touch of sweetness to complement the shrimp and herbed spread, yet enough acidity to cleanse and refresh the palate. These wines will do the trick without slowing you down.
