Wine pairing: Arneis, a lively Italian white (the name means "little rascal"), is an almost perfect match for the halibut chowder, although a mineral-rich, aromatic dry Riesling works well too.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Halibut. 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 FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.

This slightly dry white wine is clear in color. It's clean, crisp, great tasting with floral notes on the nose and flavors of green apple and a hint of citrus. Finish is fresh.Enjoy tonight without sacrificing tomorrow.
