Help with Pairings

[Innkeeper]

Hi Surrational, and welcome to the Wine Board. Not familiar with the dish you are describing, but with a little analysis could make a recommendation or two. First idea, would go for an approachable Rhone. Just today one of good guys recommended: 1998 Paul Jaboulet Aine's "Les Jalets." This is a great suggestion, and you can find more information under the "Rhone" thread below. Another good idea is an Argentine Malbec Mendoza with a "little" oak. If you want something more traditional (say Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon), you might ask your local merchant for a "ripe" Pomerol or St Emilion; which are heavy on the Merlot and light on the Cabernet.
