Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Sole works really well 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. One wine you could try is Alois Lageder Terran Alpina Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.
