Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Stew works really well with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec. 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 Eden Canyon Vineyards “RESERVE” Cabernet Sauvignon. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 63 dollars.

Eden Canyon Vineyards “RESERVE” Cabernet Sauvignon

SILVER MEDAL - 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. In 2005, we enjoyed an ideal growing and harvest season. The combination produced a beautiful yield of chocolate and strawberry flavors, so we decided to make our first Reserve wine. This unfiltered cab aged for 21 months in 100% new French Allier, Troncais, and Centre oak barrels. Our small production, handcrafted wines are produced with minimal intervention, reflecting our vineyard's full influence in the winemaking process. Our estate vineyard produces low yield and high-quality grapes that are crushed and de-stemmed within minutes of handpicking. We produce about 2,000 cases a year of consistent, balanced, low sulfites, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and nature friendly wines.
