Pinot Grigio Wine
This Crab Linguine recipe is a nice flavorful dish that pops with the garlic and the creamy noodles. I would pair this dish with a Pinot Grigio. The lime and lemon notes of the wine would pair well with the garlic and crab. A Pinot Grigio is also a medium to full-bodied wine, with a rather low acidity and fairly neutral aromas.
