Wine note: Halibut with Caper Sauce is perfect with a mild-tasting sauvignon blanc, which picks up on the "green" briny flavors of the capers and is delicate enough to match well with the fish. Try Dry Creek Vineyard Fum Blanc 2005 from Sonoma County, California, about $ (Fum blanc is another name for sauvignon blanc.) With its bright, refreshing, limey flavors and clean, pure taste, it's just right for the dish. --Karen MacNeil

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks 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. The Rabble Pinot Gris with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
