Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec are my top picks 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. You could try Round Pond Kith and Kin Cabernet Sauvignon ( Magnum). Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 90 dollars per bottle.

Inviting and approachable, the bouquet prepares the palate with aromas of cherry jubilee, cocoa-dusted red berries, and subtle hints of spice. Red fruit driven, the supple entry teases with bright notes of fresh cherry and licorice, immediately leading into darker, fleshier notes. This full-bodied Cabernet shows a beautiful balance of fruit, acid, spice, and tannin. Earthy notes of forest floor, dark chocolate, and sage linger for a full, yet remarkably soft finish.Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 2% Petite Sirah
