Costas Inn, a Baltimore establishment since 1971, provides renowned crab cakes that can be enjoyed here in our dining room or delivered right to your door! To elevate your Mother’s Day celebration, consider a few expertly curated wine pairings that can complement the hearty flavors of crab cakes. Read on to learn more!
Chardonnay
A classic choice, Chardonnay’s buttery notes go beautifully with our crab cakes. Its richness balances the delicious crab meat, making it a delicious pairing.
Riesling
For those that enjoy a bit of sweetness, Riesling offers a delicious contrast to crab cakes. Its crisp acidity cuts through the richness, which can improve every bite.
Sauvignon Blanc
A tangy and tart white win pairs great with deep-fried crab cakes, providing a zesty and refreshing counterpoint to the dish’s elements.
Viognier
An aromatic white wine, Viognier complements crab cakes, especially when it is served with white sauces or butter-based dishes.
Sparkling Wines
Crisp and dry sparkling wines such as Prosecco or Brut champagne cleanse the palate between bites, making them great for crab cakes.
Sangiovese
For red wine enthusiasts, Sangiovese provides a light-bodied option that will not overpower the delicate flavors of crab cakes.
Cocktail Pairings for Mother’s Day Meals
If cocktails are more to your mom’s liking, then consider a classic cocktail, a Bloody Mary. It’s spicy and savory profile pairs great with the rich flavors of crab cakes. Alternatively, a gin and tonic could provide a refreshing balance to any seafood dish. If you want a Maryland-style classic, then consider ordering one of our famous Orange Crushes!
