Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks 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. One wine you could try is Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
