Wine Pairings:
We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.

Sparkling Rosé
This Slow Roasted Salmon recipe is nicely flavored with the citrus and fennel. I feel that a chilled sweeter wine pairs perfectly with this dish and I would suggest a Sparkling Rosé. The Sparkling Rosé is not overly sweet and the bubbles add a nice complexion to this dish. Follow the link to our wine review site to find our favorite Sparkling Rosé wines-LetsHaveWine.com
