Wine Pairing
Txomin Etxaniz, Getaria Txakoli, Spain 2025
Orballo Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain 2024
In my proper due diligence, I tested this recipe with both wines above, pictured below, each under $20 at Total Wine. Both were fabulous, providing refreshing summer acidity and perfect mineral and salinity notes that paired well with the fish. The Txakoli has a fun effervescence to it, and the Alboriño had more ripe peaches and floral notes. Pick your favorite or try both!
