So you’re dining out at your favorite restaurant
overlooking the bay, and to complement the seaside
ambience, you’ve ordered some choice seafood to enjoy with your special
someone. To make things even more romantic, you want to buy the best wine, but
you don’t exactly know which one to choose. Here are some tips to help you out:
Mild Fish
For mild flavored fish like sea bass, sole, or striped
bass, your best bet would be whites with an explosive zest so you can balance
the mild, delicate flavor of the fish. Your choices should include Vermentino,
champagne, cava, white Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
Fried Fish
If you don’t want to wash down the romantic
ambience by ordering a tall mug of beer with your fish and chips, opt for
sparkling wines instead. Sparklers are best when paired with any fried fish
because no other wine retains its flavor when taken with such oily food. Your choices
can include champagne, Prosecco, and cava.
Meaty Fish
For extra meaty fish like salmon, halibut,
swordfish, mackerel, or even shark, choose rich white wines full of flavor to
complement the dish. These include Viognier, chardonnay, soave, Pinot d’Alsace,
white Pinot noir, and White Cotes du Rhone.
