Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Steak on the menu? Try pairing with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. 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. The Grgich Hills Estate Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 47 dollars per bottle.
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
A cool climate Merlot with bright fruit flavors and mouth pleasing acidity from Grgich Hills' vineyards in southern Napa Valley, grown without artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. With wonderfully complex aromas of cranberries, cedar and toasted hazelnuts, this wine is the perfect partner with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb or roasted pork.
