Wolfgang, would you suggest a good wine or two that you think will
go well
with salmon and/or trout?

I know taste is something very personal, but I'm always open to
suggestions.

At least when it comes to wine........

Sorry, I can't help much with this one, Roger. Aside from my own
personal tastes, I have virtually nothing to offer in the matter of
wine selection. Becky and I both prefer robust reds....so much so
that I can tell you nothing at all about whites. Our price range runs
up to about $8 or $9 per bottle, with an occasional splurge up to
$12-$15. Most often we stick to the low end of that scale....about
$6. Within that range, we've had better luck with the Californian
and, especially, Australian wines than any others. We've found both
the Yellowtail and Black Swan labels, both from SE Australia, suit our
tastes very well. A few others that come readily to mind are Glass
Mountain, Delicato, Camelot and, of course, the two...or three...buck
chuck recently mentioned in another thread. The latter is a very
cheap label produced by Charles Shaw, which is much better than it has
any right to be at that price. We also stick with merlot and shiraz
(or syrah) varieties for the most part. Anyone familiar with the
above selections will realize that our tastes tend to the sweet rather
than dry.

Thus far we haven't found much from Europe, South America, South
Africa or any other region apart from those named above that suit both
our tastes and our budget. Either they don't make anything in those
places that meet our criteria or they're keeping all the good stuff
for themselves.......the *******s.
