Herbed Tuna
Sashimi
with Wine
Suggestions
Serves 4-6
Owner & Chef Mike Pickard of Infusion
Bistro prepared this unique recipe at the Midsummer
HerbFest in July '07
This
is simple to make and stunning to look at.
Chef
Mike suggests to serve small portions as
an appetizer or larger portion as the main dish.
The
Savvy Grapes wine suggestions:
Throw
away the idea of serving only white with fish, this dish has intense
flavours that can be complemented by either a full bodied white, a dry
rose or a light red wine. Try:
- Bonterra
Chardonnay, Chile (organic wine)
- Lailey
Canadian Oak Chardonnay VQA, Niagara (contact The Savvy
Grapes to arrange a shipment of this wine.)
- Domaine
Gigondan Cotes du Rhone Rose, France
- Zenato
Bardolino Chiaretto Rose, Italy
- Flat
Rock Cellars Pinot Noir, VQA, Niagara (contact The Savvy
Grapes to arrange a shipment of this wine.)
Other
wine suggestions can be found on the Savvy
Shopping List. Print it off & take with you when you
head out to your local wine shop.
