Terrapin & Fish Tacos

Most people think of red wine for cold weather, but a lovely medium bodied white is a welcome change. Have you tried our award winning ‘15 Terrapin?

Terrapin has long been a part of our wine family – we started making it in the mid-80’s and we continue to love it today. This 100% estate grown light and fruit forward wine is a delicious blend of 82% Melody, 16% Vidal, and 2% Vignoles. It’s reminiscent of a Riesling or Vouvray with fresh honeysuckle and stone fruit notes and an easy smooth finish. With 1.25% residual sugar, Terrapin pairs perfectly with poultry and fuller flavored foods. It will complement any acidic or spicy foods, like blackened fish or a bowl of fresh fruit. Our ’15 Terrapin won a Double Gold at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition.

Terrapin is the perfect accompaniment to blackened fish tacos with mango slaw. This recipe makes us think summer. Festival season is just around the corner, right? It’s so easy to prepare and completely delicious. You may find this becomes a staple in your dinner rotation.

• Turn the fish over and place the pan in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes apart.
• To assemble the tacos, place some slaw in the tortilla then a few pieces of fish. If you like, finish with extra dressing, avocado slices and cilantro.
