Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec are great choices for Stew. Full-bodied red wines like malbec and cabernet sauvignon are the perfect accompaniment for beef stew. Fish stew probably calls for a white wine, such as chablis. You could try Newton Single Vineyard Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 215 dollars per bottle.

Newton Single Vineyard Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Wild and complex with aromatic dried herbs, wet slate, mulberry, violets, boysenberry and asphalt. The palate is an exercise in restrained power and complexity. Vibrant inky fruits of black currants, mocha and tobacco provide the flesh. The hallmark is the richly textured, umami like incredibly long and intense carry balanced by fine gravelly tannins.
