Start with the Right Protein
American Imperial Wagyu & 1855 Black Angus
Full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, or Syrah hold their own with rich, marbled cuts. The wine’s tannins cut through the richness of the marbling, cleansing the palate and allowing each bite to taste just as bold as the first.
Grass Run Farms Grass-Fed Beef
Lean, clean, and naturally flavorful. Pinot Noir or Merlot complements grass-fed beef’s subtle earthiness without overpowering it.
USA Prime Pork
Pork offers more flexibility. Pair roasted or grilled cuts with Chardonnay, Grenache, or even a light Pinot Noir. Each one brings fruit, acidity, and balance to the plate.
Wine Pairing Basics
- Fat and tannin: Rich, marbled cuts pair best with bold reds
- Lean meats need balance: Lighter wines won’t overpower the flavor
- Acidity brightens everything: Helps cut through heavier dishes
Operator Tip
Featuring suggested wine pairings directly on your menu can increase check averages and guide guest decisions. Even a simple “Pairs well with Cabernet Sauvignon” note adds value without adding complexity to service.
