White · Medium · Dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Oxtail Stew With Tomatoes And Bacon

American Pinot Gris's body and acid balance Oxtail Stew With Tomatoes And Bacon's flavor profile.

Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Pinotage

Red · Full · Dry

South Africa's signature grape — smoky, bramble-fruited, polarizing. The good bottles are surprisingly elegant; pair with barbecue and lamb.

Why it works with Oxtail Stew

Red Wine

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

A catchall for red wine generally — covers everything from a $12 weeknight pour to first-growth Bordeaux. Match the bottle's weight to the food's weight and you'll rarely go wrong.

Syrah

Adventurous

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Oxtail Stew

Syrah's structured tannins frame Oxtail Stew; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.

Red · Medium · Dry

Why it works with Oxtail Stew With Tomatoes And Bacon

White Hermitage

Adventurous

White · Medium · Dry

The Northern Rhône's grandest red — pure Syrah from a single granite hillside, age-worthy for decades. Black olive, smoked meat, violet, and a tannic spine that demands time.
