Our Favorite Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Cheers2Wine is pleased to bring you our favorite beef stroganoff recipe. This delicious beef stroganoff makes a delightful meal for four.

Wine Pairing: Pinot Noir is always a good wine choice to go with a dish rich with mushrooms. Drink the same wine that you use in preparing the stuffed mushrooms to serve with the dish. One of my favorite Pinot Noirs is Eyrie 2006 Pinot Noir Estate from the Williamette Valley of Oregon. This is an elegant Pinot Noir with marvelous flavors of blackberry and spice that will only make the mushrooms taste even better.
