White Steal of the Year (San Luis Obispo County; $13)

Perfect pairing:  Golden Spiced Squash With Sautéed Shrimp

Why it works:  With a core of sweet fruit, this great-value Chardonna is a good match for both winter squash and sweet shrimp.

Apple flavors in the wine are laced with baking spices (common in Chardonnay with a little oak on it) that link up with the cardamom and ginger in the squash. A creamy lemon edge keeps the match lively.
