Grilled Fish with Plum Salsa
Plums make this fish dish sweeter – so try pairing a sweeter wine – like Michael David Winery’s Symphony A blend with Muscat grapes, among others, make the perfect summer grilling wine. Add a fresh garden salad and grill some bread and you are in business for a patio party. Be sure to invite me over.
