Equipment

Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tunan on the menu? Try pairing 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 Grgich Hills Estate Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 47 dollars.
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
A cool climate Merlot with bright fruit flavors and mouth pleasing acidity from Grgich Hills' vineyards in southern Napa Valley, grown without artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. With wonderfully complex aromas of cranberries, cedar and toasted hazelnuts, this wine is the perfect partner with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb or roasted pork.
