Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Tilapia works really well with Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Pinot Grigio. 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 Poppy Monterey Pinot Noir with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

The mild spring and cooler summer in Monterey County give a chance of the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve the optimum maturity with great balance of acidity and flavor, and with deep color that is characteristic of Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir. The red fruit brightens across the palate, picking up raspberry and spice are balance by the French toasted oak aromas. Soft and silky through the middle, this wine crescendo on the finish leaves a vibrant, juicy memory in the mouth, with proper acidity and a pleasant mouth-feel.
