Wonderful summer pairing for evening before dinner wine… It was in Austria that we were first introduced to smoked trout. We found this delicious experience easy to duplicate for our home enjoyment. Reisling wine is a great match and our favorite. California Rieslings can be found at your local Costco or Total Wines & More for under $10.
