Wine note: What to pour with these diverse flavors? Dry ros's bold fruitiness stands up to the richness of the sesame oil, the impact of chili sauce, and the density of tuna. I love Ctes-du-Rhne ross from France. In particular, the 2006 Domaine de la Janasse Ctes du Rhne Ros is fantastic with this dish ($14). Karen MacNeil

Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well 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. The Two Vines Columbia Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 7 dollars per bottle.
