Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Fish works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. 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 Rabble Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.

Rabble Pinot Gris

Alsatian-inspired with notes of lime, green apple, white flower and wetstone. Following the nose are flavors of Anjou pear, white nectarine andcitrus. The vibrant and crisp acidity balances out this medium bodied wineand carries it through the lingering finish.
