Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Steak works really well 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 Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 34 dollars per bottle.

Our 2006 Merlot isn't shy, with its deep, dark garnet hue and abounding aromas of rich blackcherry, cassis and clove. Approachable, integrated tannins frame the generous dark fruitflavors and coat the palate with soft velvet. The long, fruity finish, laced with autumn spices,ends with a lively cranberry zing. "This is a very classy wine from a gorgeous vintage. Takethat, Miles!" laughs Winemaker Tom Rinaldi, with a reference to the film Sideways.
