Drink pairing tips

The ideal pairing for porterhouse
When having porterhouse, experts suggest you pair it with a glass of Old Fashioned, a popular cocktail.
Cabernet Sauvignon with your New York strip
A nice red wine that will bring the most out of the rich flavors of your New York strip would be Cabernet Sauvignon.
Go for Syrah with ribeye
To elevate your ribeye experience, we recommend some Syrah to go with your dish. This pairing works especially well because this red wine provides a counterpoint to the richness of the marbled meat.
