Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Red Snapper. 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. The Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir ( half-bottle) with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir ( half-bottle)

Aromas of black cherry, allspice, black currant and loam are followed by flavors of wild raspberries, dark berries and a crushed rock minerality. The dense entry is followed by a sweet and juicy mouth feel, supported by acidity, silky tannins and a subtle earthy finish.
