Lake Erie perch and Alexander winery's 2009 Pinot Grigio

Just back from a jaunt around the corner (okay, three corners) to a local landmark historic restaurant, King's Landing (http://www.kingslandingrestaurant.ca) on the waterfront in Kingsville. Paul and I both enjoyed the perch dinner; me with rice and vegetable preluded by a caesar salad and Paul with fries and vegetable preluded by the soup of the day (onion).
The perch was, as usual, tender and lightly grilled and we enjoyed a bottle of Alexander winery's 2009 Pinot Grigio (visit the winery online at www.aleksanderestate.com). At first, I thought the wine would be too strong for the tender fish, but I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out to have just the right amount of acidity to complement the grilled fish and a light yet satisfying floral and citrus edge to take the entire meal to a very pleasant finish.
