Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Calista Coast Range Pinot Noir with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

Calista Coast Range Pinot Noir

The 2012 Calista Coast Range Pinot Noir is deep ruby red in color with aromatics of dried cherries, rose petal, violet and roasted coffee bean. Rhubarb, cherry and notes of cranberry flow through the palate to a balanced and lengthy finish of mixed dark fruit and black tea.
