When you have a dish with high acidity, you can go two ways with the wine: match or contrast. This pasta dish with lemon, white wine and capers would taste great with a tangy wine, like the English sparkler or New York pinot noir here. Or, take another tack, contrasting the rather simple dish, with a complex French chardonnay.
