Moroccan Baked White Fish – Wine Pairing
Up your white fish game with this Moroccan Chermoula marinade. The wine pairing from the Southern Rhone exemplifies just how food friendly these whites can be!
Salmon with Spiced Onions & Cranberries – Wine Pairing
Give the outdoor grill a rest. And save the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for other dishes. This superb, oven-roasted Salmon recipe pairs perfectly with Gewurztraminer.
Croatia and Grgić Wines

Fiano with Salmon and Creamy Tarragon Sauce
Fiano di Avellino and this retro sauce recipe make music together when paired with grilled Salmon. Check it out.
Salade Niçoise – Red or White Wine?
Salade Niçoise – the Provençal salad of tuna, egg, potatoes and haricots verts. Surprisingly, the salad pairs with a number of varietals, but not without some cautions. Check it out.
Chardonnay and Roasted Salmon with Anchovy-Garlic Butter Sauce
With dominant flavors such as anchovy, garlic and capers in this killer sauce, what’s the right pairing: Pinot Gris, Verdicchio or Chardonnay??? Tune in.
Sauvignon Blanc and Seared Scallops
Focusing on the oak treatment of Sauvignon Blancs, we call out those Cali wines better suited for food from those that are patio-sippers. Seared Sea Scallops with Grapefruit Beurre Blanc makes for a beautiful pairing.
Black Cod with Pea Sauce – Wine Pairing
Salmon, Tuna, Swordfish – all great, but don’t you want to grill something else for a change? Try Black Cod . . . especially with this Pea Sauce from a great chef that may be new to you. While you’re at it, make room for Vouvray on your wine rack – a versatile, delicious white wine!
Gewürztraminer and Risotto with Asparagus & Smoked Trout
Risotto makes a great first course, with smoked trout adding salty complexity and asparagus adding color and crunch. The dish calls for a dry, but fruity white wine. Check out my notes on Gewürztraminer and Muscadet, wines you need to get to know!
