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 Italian Beef Sandwich

Cabernet's tannic structure anchors beef's protein and fat.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Italian Sandwich

Dry rosé is the universal sandwich pairing.

Shiraz

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.

Why it works with Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwich

Cut through Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwich's fat with Shiraz's grippy tannins; this is the pairing every steakhouse leans on.
