Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Stew on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try Pendulum Cabernet Sauvignon. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
