Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner 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. The Fess Parker Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.

Fess Parker Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Aromas of black cherry, forest floor, lavendar, raspberry, graham cracker, rose petal, and vanilla. Flavors of bing cherry, red currant, cranberry, earth, cacao, mineral.
