Pairing Wine - Salmon

One of the things you hear a lot about in restaurants is that different wine varieties pair better with different foods. Every once and awhile here at wine news, I'll be sharing a few of the more acceptable varieties to pair with a particular food item. Keep in mind that these entries are suggestions, not the rule. Sometimes unlikely combinations of wine and food make for spledid results, so always feel free to mix and match. Today, I thought about starting with fish. Of course, different fish prepared different ways pair best with different varieties . . . so let's go a little more specific and choose just one. Below is an idea for what to pair with what I'm having for dinner tonight - Salmon served in a dill sauce.

Pair it with a nice California chardonnay. These tend to be oaky and buttery, and give a nice even balance to the potent, tangy flavor of a good dill sauce.
