Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic 11 dishes

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.

Syrah

Classic 8 dishes

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Malbec

Classic 7 dishes

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Zinfandel

Interesting 5 dishes

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Amarone

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Veneto's heavyweight — dried grapes give wines of remarkable concentration, raisin, dark fig, and a faint bitter-chocolate finish. Sip with hard cheese; never with a salad.

Why it works with New York Strip Steak

Amarone's firm tannins balance New York Strip Steak's richness — the textbook structure-meets-protein match.

Red · Medium · Dry

California Merlot, when made well — plummy, supple, with a touch of cocoa and earlier drinkability than its Bordeaux cousins. The unfairly maligned dinner-party red.

Why it works with Crisp Chicken-fried Steak Strip

Lighter than a Cabernet, American Merlot still has the weight to match Crisp Chicken-fried Steak Strip's body.

American Rosé

Interesting

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 Crisp Chicken-fried Steak Strip

Try American Rosé with Crisp Chicken-fried Steak Strip when the weather is warm and the wine list short on heavy reds.

Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.

Why it works with Crisp Chicken-fried Steak Strip

Beaujolaisand less like a workout.
