Red · Medium · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Grilled Shark Steak
Blauburgunder (pinot Noir) Auslese gives Grilled Shark Steak a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.
Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Grilled Shark Steak
Cabernet Sauvignon's weight matches Grilled Shark Steak's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.

Red · Medium · Dry
Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.
Why it works with Grilled Shark Steak
A mid-weight Merlot flatters Grilled Shark Steak without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Grilled Shark Steak
Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Grilled Shark Steak cleanly — the lean white strategy.
