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

Tilapian on the menu? Try pairing 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. One wine you could try is Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 67 dollars.

Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir

Deep red color with a brick rim. Aromas are floral and fruit dominant consisting of raspberry and bing cherry with subtlehints of cedar, allspice and anise. The whole cluster element provides spiciness on the palate with smooth texture andhints of minerality that leads to an acid-driven lingering finish.
