Wine Pairings: We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner. Orvieto This Italian Seafood Pasta with Mussels and Calamari recipe is a nice light seafood pasta that contains dry white wine in the meal. A Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc would be an easy choice, but since you are cooking with it, let’s go with the Orvieto. The Orvieto is a dry semi-sweet wine that will pair well with the seafood.
