Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé

If you are like me and love to fish, every chance you get to go out is National Go Fishing Day! So, to mark the day, I will pull out a few pieces of striped bass filets from the freezer that we caught on a recent trip. When prepping fish that fresh, I am a purist: pan-fried crispy skin, a dash of salt and pepper, and you can even skip the lemon to get the full flavor. Ah, but what to imbibe with such a gift from Neptune? A bottle of Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé is the perfect match. This elegantly balanced and minerally Chardonnay is a French classic – Bon Appetit!
