Tuna steak

What would be your best wine recommendations for tuna steak, almost raw? And for Jim, All colors accepted

Thats a tough one Nick....

tuna has a steely taste to it and usually does not pair up well with wine.....if you opt for a fattier cut of the tuna, then something with acidity may do well. perhaps a bubbly may pair up well, but i haven't had that combination in years.

Burg. Uh, red. Works with seared ahi.

[Chateau Vin]

Why not try a Muscadet? or a light grenache?

[JimHow]

Tuna steak. Too much trouble.
Fish needs to be kept simple. Haddock. Halibut. Atlantic salmon.
A little bit of butter, garlic, pepper, lemon. And any red you want. Mmm.

I have enjoyed both red Burgs and Oregon pinots with tuna grilled medium rare. I think it works well if you keep the tuna simple - as in salt and pepper.

[stefan]

Red Burgundy or Oregon Pinot Noir.

[JCNorthway]

As I reflect on this, I think it needs a "rich" pinot, and not a light/thin one.

[AlexR]

Nic,

Is the tuna white or red?

My immediate thought is any white wine with character, but then a chilled, tannic, fruity wine should suit too.

Depending on the method of preparation and side dishes, we like tuna with Oregon Pinot Noir or a lighter nebbiolo.

Rose.

[Jay Winton]

Loire white Sancerre, Poilly Fume or such. Quincy used to be an excellent value, now not so much.

[JimHow]

Red Bordeaux.

[Gerry M.]

Red Bordeaux.

When in doubt.....

[Racer Chris]

Red Bordeaux.

2011

[AKR]

Sushi Village up in Whistler recommends red Graves with their fish, for those who must have red with seafood.

It works well enough

[Nicklasss]

I'm taking no risk and will go with jcka recommendation. Provence rosé! There will be sesame oil and sesame seeds, soya sauce sauce, garlic... No risk.

Bordeaux will be tomorrow, with lamb.

Great wine killer sesame oil. That's a tough match and I think you're heading in the right direction. Off dry Riesling or Gerwertztraminer would be where I would go but I'm sure the Rose will work.

[stefan]

With tuna prepared that way, I would not drink pinot noir. I agree with Danny. Saki would also be OK.

[Nicklasss]

Was an ok match with the Provence rosé. A 2016 S de la Salette, fruity and light. I like

Had a lovely 2013 Chatesuneuf du Pape tonight at the far corner "VIP table" tonight in Manhattan.
Delicious, like I usually find my red wine matching with fish.
