With Dutton Goldfield’s Morelli Lane zinfandel, which tastes quite a bit like amarone. Amazing match.

With takeout from Pacific Catch, it seemed natural to reach for a bottle of Longboard. This pairing didn’t disappoint. Longboard’s 2008 Russian River syrah and Pacific Catch’s Korean barbecue bowl with steak are a perfect pair!

I was intrigued that a sparkling rose might go with a steak. While the Tondre Pinot Noir won this dinner challenge, Iron Horse’s brut rose was a perfect match with the brunch version – Steak and Eggs Benedict.
