What drink goes best with corned beef and cabbage?
Chef's answer
Strangely, the same wines that go with Thanksgiving dinner also go with corned beef and cabbage. If you prefer red, go with Beaujolais, Grenache (a Rhone varietal), or a light Zinfandel if you can find one. A light Pinot Noir, like from Anderson Valley, might also work. Steer clear of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Since salmon is bolder in flavor and texture, it actually stands up well to red wine! The type of red wine is key, though: A big, heavy-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon will indeed overpower salmon, but a light-bodied red will not.
