Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Candleglow® White
This recipe is moderately spicy but the meat is a very mild fish. You could use either a dry rosé or a dry white. I chose the latter and specifically Tassel Ridge Iowa Candleglow White. Iowa Candleglow White will complement the spices in this recipe without overpowering the fish. It has pineapple, pear, melon, and apricot notes on the nose and palate and a finish that hints of green apple. This dry white is made from La Crescent, Brianna, and Edelweiss grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards. Serve chilled. – Bob Wersen, Owner, Tassel Ridge Winery
