Recommended wine: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec

Beef Stew works really well with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. These full-bodied red wines are the perfect accompaniment for hearty beef stew. The Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

The 2008 Covenant is bright red in color with youthful crimson hues. The nose exudes notes oflicorice, coffee grinds and savory, black olives married with spicy French oak char. Dark,spicy aromas carry over impressively to the palate. Its seamless mouthfeel and texturalqualities combine seductively with the oak to provide a lingering, fine grained finish.
