What to pair with tuna tartare?

Definitely on aboard with the rose bubbly recs.

A mostly grenache based (still) rose pairs well too.

For something a little off beat, a slightly fizzy Spanish rose from Txakoli would be a fun pairing as well. I’ve posted about my favorite one before, Ameztoi Rubentis.

Dammit, Yoni. Now that others know you’re the other Berserker I’m going to get nothing but recs. for apple juice, grape juice, and Manischewitz. Thanks a lot.

I think you’re a big enough boy to ignore any such Berserk recommendations…

Personally, I prefer a crisp Champagne/sparkling wine over a Pinot Noir/Burgundy with a dish like this. And a crisp rose Champagne in particular.

Txakolina Rose, if there’s any left. Drank it all summer with various raw tuna concoctions.

You already know the answer Brian. IPA

Seriously? I would think something much lighter and more delicate, like maybe a Saison or Pilsener, would pair much better if we were to go the beer route. In fact, the Saison idea is growing legs in my mind right now …

I only said IPA because that’s our focus this week. Saison all the way or maybe even La Fin du Monde.
