Equipment

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. You could try Benziger Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 39 dollars per bottle.
Benziger Merlot
Benziger Merlot
This Merlot reflects the power of the vintage without departing from the family style of richness with soft tannins. Bright blackberry and plum in the nose with hints of bramble, spice, coffee, tobacco, and toasty vanillin. A rich, complex Merlot with concentrated up-front flavors and persistent finish.
