Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. 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.
Alsatian-inspired with notes of lime, green apple, white flower and wetstone. Following the nose are flavors of Anjou pear, white nectarine andcitrus. The vibrant and crisp acidity balances out this medium bodied wineand carries it through the lingering finish.
