Recommended wine: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec

Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec are my top picks for Beef Stew. These full-bodied red wines are the perfect accompaniment for hearty beef stew. The Blanc de Bleu Cuvee Mousseux with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Blanc de Bleu Cuvee Mousseux

Blanc de Bleu is a premium California Chardonnay wine with an added hint of blueberries and is a delicate sparkling wine reserved for memorable celebrations. It offers seductive flavors and fresh aromatic effervescence - vividly pasteled with blueberries. All of this is contained in an impressively sexy bottle with tasteful flair.The fruit for Blanc de Bleu is grown in the quiet vineyards of Northern California, known for their cool and clear breezes - ideal conditions for the exclusive grapes and soils that accentuate the profoundly flavorful characteristics. This sparkling wine pairs well with appetizers, sushi and very light meals.
