Wine Pairing

Advice of Wine to combine

Suggest from Sommelier

The spicy flavors predominate in this dish, so I'd serve it with a red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The former adds favor intensity and structure, while the touch of black pepper in the latter familiarizes us with the connotations of the dish.
