Instructions
Make the vinaigrette: In a medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, reduce the wine to 1/4 cup.
Place it in a blender with the vinegar, mustard and honey and blend until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste. May be refrigerated up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
Place warm beans in a bowl, add shallots and heavy cream and mash until smooth. Fold in the sage and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in nonstick skillet. Season tuna with salt and pepper to taste. Sear on each side for 1 to 2 minutes for rare doneness.
Serve with white bean puree and vinaigrette.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna works really well 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. One wine you could try is Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Merlot. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Merlot
The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
