Unusual (to me) to make a pie with yeasted dough. Is that the kind of dough normally used for a Tourtière?

I have no idea. I had this whole meal zap me in the forehead like a comet. It's an invention of my fertile imagination. My experience making dough is still under development. :whistling:
 
Yeah, I should have baked up something like this for the current fish recipe challenge.
 
Very interesting the use of albariño! Was that just inspiration or were you thinking of a specific taste profile?

Albariño is a good wine to use with fish. It does lend itself to a good flavoring.
