Wine Of The Week: Frey Biodynamic Field Blend + Yellowfin Tuna Salad Recipe

Frey Field Blend Red Wine

This lush red wine was a fabulous random pick off of the Whole Foods’ shelf. I had typically stayed away from “red” or “white” generic labels until I realized that these are only labeled “red” or “white” because they are a blend of different varietals. In no way does that effect the quality of the wine; in many cases it can enhance the flavor profile and increase the complexity.

This is certainly true in the case of Frey’s Field Blend Red, which is a blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, and a touch of CabSauv.

The tannins are light as is the acidity. There is a slight fruity undertone, but not too much. There is also a bit of a spicy undertone.

The same night that I tried this fabulous blend, I also whipped up some tuna salad. It was one of those nights where I was eating alone, didn’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but wanted something both nutritious and appetizing. I threw together 3 ingredients that sounded good, and voila! My newest concoction resulted in a great Yellowfin Tuna Salad recipe that paired surprisingly perfectly with the Field Blend Red.
