Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Fish works really well with Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner. 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 Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 24 dollars per bottle.

Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc

Produced from our own estate vines at Wheatland Vineyard, this dry "white" Pinot Noir is produced by pressing off whole cluster Pinot Noir grapes immediately after harvest. The resulting wine has intense floral aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine and gardenia and flavors of honeydew melon, white peaches, and rainier cherry. The wine has a rich, creamy mouthfeel but finishes clean, with notes of wet stone and a crisp flinty minerality.
