Food Pairings
Six of the best pairings for Cabernet Sauvignon
Steak. The obvious one. A good burger. Which is, after all, simply chopped steak. … Beef short ribs and
other braised beef dishes. Slow-braised beef – or venison – can be great too especially when cooked in
red wine. … Roast or grilled lamb. … Portabello mushrooms. … Cheese.
