Pinot Gris

Classic

White · Medium · Off-dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Parmesan Crusted Walleye

Pinot Gris's acid balances Parmesan Crusted Walleye's creaminess; the body holds up to the richness.

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 Parmesan Crusted Walleye

Light reds like Pinot Noir pair flexibly with Parmesan Crusted Walleye — soft tannins, bright acid, food-friendliness.

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 Parmesan Crusted Walleye

Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Parmesan Crusted Walleye cleanly — the lean white strategy.
