What is your favorite wine to match steak?

Paul B. wrote:Pinotage is my top choice, mainly because I like to go all out when I grill, and vastly prefer grilling over either hardwood (caveat: can't really do this in the city) or coals + woodchips, as opposed to gas. I have done this on a few occasions over a half-drum homemade braai, and so the South African motif was very much in place. Kanonkop Pinotage is my go-to wine during such cookouts.
Tom N. wrote:Hi Paul,
I like pinotage myself but have never have had it with steak. I have a Graham Beck 2005 pinotage in my cellar that was gift from a friend. What do think of his pinotages? And, do you think it would go with steak?

Hi Sam,
My brother Bob claims that a good burgundy goes well with steak. I think if you have a good burg it just might work as long as the steak isn't too fatty. The acidic core of a good burg should stand up well to a nice stip loin. I am going to have to try that some time. However, my general preference in steaks runs toward the fatty side, rib or ribeye .
