Costco Buyer Tip
Annette Alvarez-Peters, Wine
Balance is the key when pairing wine
and food. The weight or body, the acids
and the strength of ;avors should be
closely matched to create balance and
prevent either item from overpowering
the other. A refreshing Oregon Pinot Gris
with delicate fruit ;avor or a Chablis
with stone fruit and mineral notes pairs
nicely with this type of ;sh. Both wines
are high in acidity, to complement the
natural oils in the hake and the creaminess of the cheese.
