Steak And Potatoes

Orin Swift

Papillon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

Big and fruity! Great pairing with a Porterhouse Steak! Dark cherry, baking spice and a hint of bourbon on the nose. Big black fruit and cassis flavors with a touch of vanilla, graphite and dried herbs. Creamy and silky finish that goes on for a while. 15.1% Alcohol but it does not seem that “hot.” Soft and powerful at the same time! Should improve with age and I’m giving the next bottle a few years to sleep. — 7 years ago

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2011

Crying out for grilled steak or tagliata. Struggled to find a match for this one in a fugu restaurant. (From the Mayor’s cave). — 8 years ago

One Point Five Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

I love this wine!! Paired fabulous with my American Wagyu steak. Blackberries, currants, tobacco. The bouquet and finish are to die for. While the Hillside, I'll take the One Point Five and Relentless. I would not hold on to the 2005 much longer. Probably at its peak now, but we have two more bottles in our cellar, so we'll see. — 9 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2012

I will use one word to describe this: "for"... As in for you; for any occasion; for tonight; for a great taste; for a pairing with fish or steak; for the enrichment and nourishment of your soul... Why not... But seriously. It's a very we'll balanced wine, lingers perfectly in my opinion. — 12 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Jordan is always good... Thinking it would have been better with a steak than the Chicken Parm at Runway 84... Thank you Ralph and the crew from Las Olas... What is better than Thursday night at this place... The chick from Mob wives by the bar taking pics... Chicken Parm and a good Cab... Ahh.... Youth is waisted on the young!!! — 12 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Past its prime ? Could be. Otherwise a smooth and well rounded blend, a bit on the dry side, notes of earth and dark ripe berries. Was paired very well with a prime aged steak and truffles. — 13 years ago

It’s a flank steak blackened with a secret rub (coffee grounds, soy sauce, etc...) @Ron R Really brings out the fruit in a well aged CA cab

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Drank in the outer banks for our annual steak dinner on vacation. Huge 2in thick Filets with blue cheese, mushrooms, onions, and roasted fingerling potatoes.

Decanted for 60 min. So silky smooth. Dark fruits, and chocolate. Finish is great.

This is the only caymus wine I really enjoy.
