Wine Recommendation: German rieslings are tremendously flexible with food. A classic riesling, one that is not fully dry, is ideal for cooling the heat of the mustard and cutting through the rich cream, too.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Catfish can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. 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. You could try Rabble Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.
