Butternut Squash and Coconut Bisque with Shrimp-Stuffed Shishito Peppers
Pair with a bottle of Maison Darragon Vouvray Brut | Serves 4
A flattering nose offers aromas of white fruits, such as pear and apple. The mouth feel of this Touraine wine is an attack of smooth effervescence, volume, and richness with aromas of honeyed flowers and spices.

2 oz ginger grated
1 pc kaffir lime leaf
