Oakwood has a small picnic area next to its vineyards near the Yakima River in a typical Yakima Valley rural setting. The winery can be reached by taking the Kiona Exit on Interstate 82. Instead of going all the way on Highway 224 to Seth Ryan and Kiona Vineyards, take Demoss Road. Semillon and salmon Semillon and salmon roll off the tongue easily. Something else that's easy to roll across the tongue is the combination of a cool, crisp bottle of semillon with a perfectly barbecued salmon laced with onions and lemons.
Many wines go with salmon.
Some recommend a red pinot noir with grilled king salmon. Pinot gris, a white wine form Oregon, chardonnay, dry riesling and sauvignon blanc all can be matched with the Pacific Northwest's gift to gastronomes, the salmon. Semillon, as made by several Mid-Columbia wineries, is a fine match for salmon whether baked, grilled or poached. One of my favorite ways to prepare salmon is to make a boat out of two pieces of aluminum foil for extra thickness. Rub a fillet of salmon with olive oil, salt and pepper.
