Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna can be paired with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Raymond R Collection Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
