White · Full · Dry

California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.

Why it works with Grilled Halibut Steaks

Full-bodied whites like American Chardonnay stand up to oily, rich Grilled Halibut Steaks preparations.

White · Medium · Dry

Pacific Northwest Sémillon — Washington and California's quiet white grape, with waxy texture, lemon curd, and the structure to age.

Why it works with Grilled Halibut Steaks

American Sémillon's mid-weight handles Grilled Halibut Steaks well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.

Malbec

Adventurous

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Grilled Halibut Steaks

Malbec brings dark fruit and grip to Grilled Halibut Steaks — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.

Verdicchio

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Marche's quietly excellent white — apple and almond, a faint bitterness on the finish, and unusual ageability for an Italian white. Try the Castelli di Jesi Riserva.
