Last Thursday's meal... a sauté of veal with tarragon sauce. Delicious. So I said to myself that it deserved a wine and food pairing article on the veal stir-fry!
What wine with a veal stir-fry?
There are several schools with veal sauté and especially the school of the "reds" and the school of the "whites". What, white wine with veal stir-fry?!! Actually it all depends on the recipe. And there are many recipes for veal stir-fries. So each recipe will claim its own wine. Whether red, white or rosé, a lot of wines can be drunk with veal sauté.
