Here’s the cheat sheet if you’re in a rush: Grilled salmon? Sauvignon Blanc. Buttery sauce? Chardonnay. Cold or spicy? Pinot Grigio or Riesling. Herb-forward? Viognier.
And remember, the best wine is the one you actually like. Don’t let anyone wine-splain you out of a good time. If you want to drink rosé with salmon, do it. You’re a rebel.
But if you want to look like you know what you’re doing? Grab a bottle of dry Riesling from Germany’s Mosel region. Trust me, your salmon will thank you. And so will your dinner guests.
Now go cook that fish. And pour yourself a glass first. You deserve it. Cheers.
