Last night, I grilled up a beautiful ribeye with a side of roasted broccoli and wild rice. The ribeye paired beautifully. It’s tannins, and dry, bold flavors along with its fruit forward acid complemented the steaks rich flavor, and fatty texture. The coarse, peppery rub that I spiced the steak with was a perfect compliment to the pepper and spice notes in the Cab.
