I'm talking about rich, nutty, deep Riesling with bottle age. The intensity that a bone-dry Riesling from Alsace or Germany that is at least 10 years or older delivers can come as a wonderful surprise if you've never experienced it.
The complexity that is gained from bottle aging makes so that it can stand up to richer cuts of meat, but the wines should still be fresh and vibrant. There are many fine examples out there and not all of them will cost a fortune.
This wine benefits from decanting and drinking closer to room temperature. Cookie banner We use cookies and other tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience on our site, show personalized content and targeted ads, analyze site traffic, and understand where our audiences come from.

The Latest. By Madeleine Davies. Zinfandel is known for having a bold taste with grapey spiciness, and the thick richness is also loved by many. Another option is malbec, an up-and-coming wine. This wine is often paired with steak, and it is loved around the world.
Another reason why malbec is a top pick is that it is relatively cost-effective compared to its wine counterparts. There are rich and delicious malbec wines made across the globe, but some of the more popular malbec wines come from Chile or Argentina. Known as the king of red wines, cabernet sauvignon is said to be the number one choice when it comes to pairing with steak dishes.
Given the bold flavors of steak, it's important to choose a wine that matches that flavor. Due to the full-bodied nature of cabernet sauvignon, it pairs perfectly with steak. No matter what steak you eat, the robust fruit flavors and powerful aromas of this wine are well suited for intense flavors with each and every bite of steak. Also, given the high fat content of steak, the high alcohol content and high level of tannins pair well. The steak fat also can improve the taste of the wine, making it a lot smoother and less bitter.
If you tend to choose the higher end steaks like filet mignon, then pinot noir is a solid choice for a wine pairing. This is why these filets are often served with sauces. Pinot noir has an enjoyable fruitiness to it, and the subtle oak flavors accompany the gentle flavors of the meat perfectly.
To enjoy the full flavors of a good filet mignon, a soft pinot noir is the ideal choice. Merlot is a great wine that pairs well with many different types of steaks.
When it comes to pairing, it is best to remember to consider the entire dish, not just the meat, when choosing the best wine. Another important factor to considering for meat and wine pairings is the seasoning as a light season of salt and pepper can be accompanied by almost any wine because it has a very versatile flavor while a sweetly or heavily seasoned meat should incorporate a wine that contrasts its flavor profile.
One of my favorite non-traditional pairings is a glass of Dom Perignon Rose with a seared sashimi-style Wagyu beef. Fine dining is all about finding your personal preferences and favorite flavor profiles - not to impress food or wine snobs who might mess with your wine choices.
Once you discover that, everything is possible. The only way to find out the best steak and wine combination for yourself is try experiment with different wines! Some of the wines I really enjoy with steak are the three of the complimentary red wines we serve: Beran Zinfandel, Napa Valley, J. Red wine with meat and white with fish is and old saying. That time the world of wines was much smaller and there were not as many international influences in our cuisines as there are now.
The most important pairing is not food and wine it is with whom you chose to share your meal with. As our lives have dramatically changed, I found different ways to deal with the new reality such as investing my energy in creating the best possible life by focusing my energy on things I can create.
