Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Halibut. 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 Crossbow Sonoma Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Crossbow Sonoma Pinot Noir

Aged in French oak, this Pinot Noir has a beautiful garnet color with aromas of Bing cherry, red raspberry, baking spice and subtle vanilla notes. It presents a lush softness on the palate coupled with flavors of concentrated red and blue fruit, with a core of cherry and dark raspberry with purple violet oral notes. Medium bodied with balanced acidity that lifts the flavors.
