Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Parducci Small Lot Chardonnay Wine New Label with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Honoring the rich heritage of the Chardonnay grape, we select individually-vinified small lots of premium varietal Chardonnay grapes to blend a wine of bold, lively character and balanced flavors of crisp apple, pear, and tropical fruits.
