Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec are great choices 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. The Rodney Strong Knights Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.

The 2015 Knights Valley Cabernet is deeply colored and bursting with aromas of crushed blackberries, spicy dark plum, and wild raspberry. The complex layers of spice and chocolate on the palate are framed in rich, velvety tannins with a long lingering finish. Enjoy with charcuterie, barbecue chicken pizza, grilled rib eye steak with mushrooms, and roasted pork.
