Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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 SeaGlass rosé of Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

A beautiful reflection of Monterey County’s pristine coastal terroir, the Rosé opens with fragrant wild strawberries and dried rose petals on the nose. Flavors of juicy cherry andripe raspberry are balanced by refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish. This vibrant wine is a diverse menu partner, pairing exceptionally well with prosciutto and melon or crab cakes with spicy aioli.
