Curated by Chef Christina Machamer, this Ahi Tuna Tostada recipe is the perfect appetizer to transition from summer to fall. The soft, yet delicately rich tuna placed upon a crisp corn tortilla chip is only enhanced by the savory dollop of fresh avocado . Frank Family Carneros Chardonnay is the perfect wine to pair with this rich yet delicate dish. Its crisp citrus-led nose, and flavors of toasted oak and baked apple compliment this end-of-summer dish outstandingly well.
