Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Wine Advice:

This hearty dish pairs well with a full-bodied red wine such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot. The rich flavors of the beef and the savory sauce are complemented by the bold and robust characteristics of these wines. If you prefer a white wine, opt for a dry Riesling or a Chardonnay with some oak aging to stand up to the richness of the goulash.
