Gefilte fish is a traditional dish made from ground white fish, bread crumbs, eggs, and onions. The mixture is shaped into oval patties and gently simmered in a flavorful broth with carrots and a touch of sugar. The result is a tender, mildly sweet, and savory fish dish with a soft, almost quenelle-like texture, perfect for holiday meals.

Gefilte fish, a simmered dish of white fish, bread, eggs, onion, carrots, and sugar, pairs well with a white wine like Bourboulenc. The wine's crisp acidity and subtle citrus notes complement the delicate flavors of the fish, while its medium body matches the dish's texture. The lactic and buttery notes from the eggs in the dish harmonize with the wine's rounded mouthfeel.
