Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Anne Amie Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.

Anne Amie Pinot Gris

Aromas of Bartlett pear, gardenia, white peach, white tea, jasmine, graham cracker, and straw. Flavors of Asian pear, white fig, white peach, white strawberry, and fennel flowers. The finish is dry, long and acid driven.Pairs well with roast chicken, Caesar salad, mussels, quince glazed pork chop, grilled squash, pan seared trout, and bibimbap.
