coldpacker Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Wine is starting to grow on me. I'm going to grill some steaks for dinner tonight for the gf and i and would like to compliment with a nice red wine. Anyone got any suggestions for a moderately priced bottle?

#98QBKiller Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yellowtail Cabernet, it's not too expensive and the quality is good for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys and gals know their stuff. Some good choices there Kilmer! For me, it depends on the steak as well. . .for nice fillet, and I really like a bold merlot, but for a porterhouse (t-bone) I prefer a shiraz, the sweetness brings out more of the flavor on the NY side of the steak. For a great under $50 bottle, and a great all around steak wine, I would suggest Sebastiani Alexander Valley Cabernet circa 2003-4. It is one of the best under $50 cabs IMHO. https://www.net10.net/ShoppingCart/buy/ProductAdd_28.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 If you can find an 04 Beringer Pinot it's bank. Not a big fan of that vintner generally, but that wine is really good. I prefer a cab with the fattier cuts, ribeye in paricular. With a leaner cut I find a softer wine like a good pinot complements it better. Cakebread or Caymus are my choice for special occasion cabs, both are unbelievable but around 50 per. My favorite pinots are Bruce and Kingwood Esate and they are more reasonable 25/35.

RyansRangers Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Come on man, it's not Wild Irish Rose. I am just giving you a hard time - I dont like yellowtail personally- it has too much bite and not enough flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldpacker Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 i've bought yellow tail merlot. its not bad for under 10 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyansRangers Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 i've bought yellow tail merlot. its not bad for under 10 dollars right its not bad.. but if you looking to pair wine with steak you want to have a wine that brings out the flavor of steak not just one that is ok right? maybe I gotcha wrong.. yellowtail is a good drinking wine for cheap. but if your looking for a good dinner with good steak and good wine.. yellowtail isnt going ot cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
