Recommended wine: Riesling, Albarino, Sparkling Rose

Riesling, Albarino, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Sardines. Strongly flavored, oily fish like sardines pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. The Weingut Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Trocken with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Smoky aromas lead into a palate that’s incredibly silky, salty and articulate; cherry blossom and scree in ultra hi-def; a delicate nip of chile-thread on the finish doesn’t obtrude on the cool breezy complexity. I don’t remember a better vintage of this wine.
