For those of you who are new to Taylor’s Wine Shop, we are a family business. My name is Melissa, and I've been here on the blog lately, so if you’ve been keeping up with us, nice to meet you! My dad is Taylor Cash, founder and owner of Taylor’s Wine Shop. My brother Ben, runs the day-to-day along with Kelli Beck, who is family now too! And we all work together along with a fantastic team including our very knowledgable wine manager Cory who has been with us about a decade.
Aside from just drinking wine, we enjoy cooking too. With June being Sauvignon Blanc month here at Taylor’s Wine Shop, I thought it to be the perfect time to find some amazing dishes that pair with Sauvignon Blanc. I am so excited to pass this recipe and wine pairing along to you. It is superb!
When searching for the perfect dish for a summer evening, I reached out to Taylor’s wife, Terri, she is a fabulous cook and host. She immediately sent me this Roasted Shrimp Cocktail recipe. Then I spoke with Kelli, she has years of wine knowledge and her pairing suggestions are always on point. She gave me the perfect Sauvignon Blanc wine to pair with the roasted shrimp cocktail.

Notes on the wine: This flagship white boasts floral and fruity aromas and is fresh and round on the palate with a crisp, dry finish. Among the greatest values in Bordeaux Blanc. The classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc with lesser amounts of Semillon & Muscadelle. Golden yellow color with green tints. Very harmonious nose, expressing huge refinement and great ripeness, integrated fruit, silky floral and mineral notes. The mouth is focused, fleshy, very aromatic, with delicious acidity and freshness.
