White Zinfandel
When I go to a sushi restaurant I love to get a cold glass of White Zinfandel. Therefore it’s difficult for me to recommend anything else! The strawberry nuances of a White Zinfandel goes great with the flavors of this sushi bake. Follow the link to our wine review site to find our favorite White Zinfandel wines-LetsHaveWine.com
