Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec are my top picks 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. One wine you could try is Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
