Sauvignon Blanc With Zesty Tilapia

A zesty Tilapia is a light meal that rests easy on your appetite, and pairing it with a Sauvignon Blanc maintains the lightness of it. This white wine boasts subtle hints of green apple, white peach, and passion fruit. The fruity undertones complement the flavors fused into a spicy Tilapia and bring out the taste to its fullest extent.

A glass of this white wine and a flavorful Tilapia balances the equation of citrus and acidity. If you’re looking for an ideal match, this is it.

Pinot Noir with Oven Roasted Herring

Herring has an overwhelming flavor on its own. If you must pair a full meal with a drink, it better be a full-bodied one to match the herring’s flavor. The deep, fruity tones in a Pinot Noir go nicely with an oven-roasted Herring steak on your plate.

The heaviness of each balances out the flavors and blends into a beautiful marriage. The pairing can easily transport you into a food coma after the first sip and bite of the meal! Treat your date to this heavenly pair on a luxury cruise and seal the moment with a kiss.

Dry Riesling with Smoked Salmon

Salmon is a versatile fish that tastes rich any way you cook it. But giving it a smoked flavor over burning coal enhances the notes even more. You need a drink that’s dry enough to complement the smoky flavor of your Salmon. Your wish is granted because Dry Riesling and smoked Salmon is a match made in heaven!

This is the most superior of all whites, perfectly balancing the deep earthy tones of a smoked salmon. Neither too overwhelming nor too sweet, a sip of Dry Riesling is perfect for washing down every bite.

Gamay with Grilled Salmon or Tilapia

Can’t turn down a platter of grilled salmon fillet that tastes juicier with every bite? Pair it with a glass of Gamay to enhance the dining experience even more!

This light- to medium-bodied wine goes perfectly with the mildly sweet-savory flavor of the grilled seafood. The high acidity and low tannins make it the perfect pairing with anything that’s cooked on a grill.

If you’re not eager for Salmon today, request your chef for Tilapia with a side of mango salsa. The combo with a glass of Gamay will be heavenly! A rosé Gamay complements the charred, smoky flavor of the fish all the more.
