Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Beef Short Ribs works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. One wine you could try is Beringer Howell Mountain Bancroft Ranch Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 35 dollars.
