Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Cajun Salmon Filet

Pinot Noir is the rare red that works with salmon — silky tannin meets the fish's natural fat.

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Cajun Salmon Filet

Off-dry Riesling tames Cajun heat and works with the seafood backbone of Louisiana cooking.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Cajun Salmon Filet

Dry rosé bridges seafood and spice — the all-purpose Louisiana table pour.

Sauvignon Blanc

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Cajun Salmon Filet

Crisp white acid cuts through salmon's natural oils.

Zinfandel

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Cajun Salmon Filet

Jammy red with enough fruit to match smoked sausage, blackened meats, and dirty rice.
