Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well with Pinot Noir, Merlot, 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 Hahn Winery Monterey Pinot Noir with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Hahn Winery Monterey Pinot Noir
Hahn Winery 2008 Pinot Noir is vibrant yet elegant with a hue reminiscent of rose petals and a nose of strawberry, spice and floral aromas. Pleasant plum and dark cherry flavors flow across the palate, mingling with touches of black pepper and oak. The ripe fruit is balanced by zesty, cool-climate acidity and smooth, silky tannins.This food-friendly Pinot Noir can be served with a wide range of dishes. Enjoy it with chicken topped with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes, grilled salmon with herbed orzo or a simple mushroom pizza.
