Red Wine and Fish?

This is a great article for those of us who don’t like white wine….but love fish. I’ve struggled with experimentation of red wine and fish for years and now have some basic expectations. What I’ve found is the is that dryier lighter red wines, like pinot noir’s and petite syrahs(blends) are best for my tastes, however, I came across this great article on wineloverspage.com on scientists research about this blend of red wine and fish to help out others looking for similar guidance.

2005 / Michael David
where: Jacks Steak House
comments: This was a blend of petite sirah and a petite verdot and was very smooth and was pretty light considering. I had this with a nice Kansas City Steak and this wine had a very nice fruity finish.

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
where: in-between home
comments: Approx. $15.99, It was a gift. Very hearty, meaty with full overtones. Definitely taste the barrel, and some really plume and smoke after tones. I’d love it with a stone pizza…but no deal this time around. Enjoy a thick wine from Wetzel Family Estate.
