Wine Pairing
Grilled Trout

Trout (or other rich fish) pairs best with light red wines or full bodied white wines.
Grilled Trout and a fruity (unoaked) Pinot Noir is a perfect pair. Pinot Noir picks up the richness of the Trout, and the taste of caramelized skin.
If you go for Chardonnay, it should not be heavily oaked. The oak will overpower a grilled Trout.
Sparkling wines also go werry well with grilled Trout.
