1 and 1/2 cups dry red wine 
1 cup white balsamic vinegar 
2/3 cup water

1/4 cup gold raisins
1 TSP salt and black pepper
1 bay leaf
Directions:
-Heat Olive Oil in saute pan over medium heat until hot, but not smoking.
-Add shallots and saute, stirring until they start to caramelize and are slightly soft. 
-Lower flame and add wine, vinegar, water, sugar, raisins, salt and pepper, and bay leaf. 
-Bring to boil. 
-Lower heat and let simmer 15-20 minutes until thickened while gently stirring (If mixture thickens too fast, add a little more water to thin slightly).
How to Plate: Slice tuna 1/4 inch thick. Please 2-4 slices of tuna on plate and top with 2 ounces (1 large spoon) of agrodolce sauce and serve.
