Seafood Afternoon

     There are a selection of wines that pair well with seafood. One to consider is a White Burgundy Original Chardonnay. These Chardonnay grapes are grown in the Burgundy regions of France which gives this wine a different taste from it's California grown cousins. Due to the climate of the Burgundy region, this wine is lighter-bodied and can be a little more tangy in flavor. Pairing this wine with seafood is a great choice for the palate.

***Recipe for Thought***   Tilapia Po'Boys and Cut Potatoes with Burgundy Chardonnay

4 pieces of Tilapia                      1 bunch of cilantro (optional)
1 cup of tarter sauce                 2 large russet potatoes
4 wheat hoagie rolls                1 1/2 cup Zatarain's Fish Meal 
1 1/2 cups olive oil                   salt & pepper to taste 

     In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of oil on medium-high. Lightly cover fish in Zatarain's Fish meal. Fry fish until golden brown on each side. Heat additional 1 cup of oil on high for potatoes. Cut potatoes steak style or crinkle (if you have a crinkle cutter). Cook potatoes through until golden and season with salt and pepper. Lightly toast wheat hoagie rolls in oven or toaster oven. Layer bun with crispy tilapia, cilantro and tarter sauce. Cozy-up with a glass of wine and a southern sandwich favorite.
