White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

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.

Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

White · Light · Dry
Galicia's gift to summer — citrus, peach, salt air, and acid like a knife. Made for shellfish, paella, and any dish that involves the sea.

White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Fishcakes
Chardonnay Nw (full-bodied, Fruity)'s body and acid balance Fishcakes's flavor profile.
White · Medium · Dry
The Rhône's most famous appellation — up to 13 grape varieties blended into something dense, warm, peppery, and unmistakable. Black cherry, garrigue, leather; built for braised lamb and aged cheese.
Why it works with Fishcakes
Chateauneuf Du Pape (grenache Blanc Blend)'s body and acid balance Fishcakes's flavor profile.
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 Japanese Style Fishcakes
Silky red meets fattier Japanese dishes — salmon, tuna tataki, yakitori — without overwhelming.
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 Japanese Style Fishcakes
Off-dry Riesling threads the soy-wasabi-fish triangle the way sake does.
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 Fishcakes
Rosé's strawberry-and-citrus brightness pairs easily with Fishcakes.
White · Medium · Dry
Bordeaux's blending white and Hunter Valley's solo star — waxy texture, lanolin, lemon curd. Ages beautifully into something honeyed without losing its acid backbone.
Why it works with Fishcakes
Semillon's body and acid balance Fishcakes's flavor profile.
