The 10 Best Dry White Wines to Pair With Fish
Many people find great pleasure in pairing wine with their meals, finding the best combination to enhance the entire experience either time food or drink comes to their lips. If you go out to high end restaurants, you'll probably notice that this is an especially popular idea with fish dinners. With each type of fish comes a specific taste, and different wines pair specifically well with different kinds to enhance their flavor. While there are red wines that go well with red meat fish like salmon, white wines are mostly known to be what you pair with fish because this food source is typically a leaner, white meat. Not all of us have the luxury of going out to eat at upscale restaurants though, and you shouldn't miss out on delectable dining, right? Luckily for you, if you want to take out the guesswork, we’ve got the perfect combinations of delicious dry white wines to pair with fish out there, so that you can turn dinner into a truly immersive experience.

Jazz & Drinks - 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. Top Story - December 2017.
Like perhaps most people, I'm really not a fan of most Christmas music. Traditional classics like "Deck the Halls" and "Jingle Bells" have grown stale to the point where the melodies are simply tiring, even surrounded by a hip new arrangement featuring the likes of Michael Bublé. I applaud attempts at writing new holiday tunes, but they can feel so commercial, you know? And in any case, you can't really write an instrumental Christmas tune. Without lyrics, how can you tell it's about Christmas at all?

Ice Wine and Food Pairing Guide
The term "ice wine" is an anglicized form of the German word "eiswein." It is a rich and sweet dessert wine made from the juice of grapes frozen on the vine. Water crystals are still in the juice when it is pressed so the sugar content is higher in these wines. Canada, along the Niagara Peninsula outside of Toronto, is probably the most famous place it is produced. However these sweet, ice wines are also made in Austria, Luxemburg and Oregon on the West Coast of the United States.
