Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine

Tilapian on the menu? Try pairing 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. The Tangent Paragon Vineyard Pinot Gris with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Framed by a light lemony acidity and vibrant minerality, thispinot gris was made in the traditional dry style of northern Italy.It is surprisingly full-bodied, with concentrated flavors of peach,ginger and tropical fruit, with a hint of a pine-resin character. A great wine on its own, Tangent Pinot Gris pairs well with a widerange of foods including seafood, pasta with light sauces, evengrilled sausages.
