What wine to serve with prime rib?

[Mr.Harry]

I like Zin. Ravenswood Lodi Old Vine is excellent bang for the buck at under 20.$ a bottle. If you wanted to spend more like 50.$ or so, Stags Leap makes some nice Cab.

 

[Mr.Harry]

So... what do you think is the best wine for bear?

A really funky, leathery, barnyard Rhône. No question.

Sooo, who was Mogen David?

King David's older brother, a notorious alcoholic. But the wine is not that old; it was just named after him.

Had it, Love it!
When you feel the Urge to sing-
Stuck in Lodi Again!
You have had too much!

I've enjoyed a Early Harvest Vitis Rotundifolia with Company Steaks. Why not with Prime Rib?

Do I look like a bear? Ask a bear.

BTW, I have already hinted that I don't think that there IS a best wine for bear. JMO, but I recommend cartridges for bear, beer for breakfast, and wine for dinner, not necessarily in that order.

I have even become such a cretin I might put ice cubes in my red wine.

Years ago after a hot summer's day of yard work, I would retire to the deck with a pitcher of Chianti Classico or merlot, club soda and ice paired with a smoke.

Indescribably refreshing and it wouldn't take my landing gear out.

I'd have to ask my wife. She is the family wino as I don't partake of wine. But everything she drinks comes in a 5L box unless it's a really special occasion.

Sounds like you never eht any bear...

If you have time buy a decent bottle of red wine for yourself but drink it before Christmas. Make sure you save the bottle.

Buy a couple jugs of red cooking wine. Probably a couple of bucks per jug. Pour the cooking wine into the bottle and replenish as needed. Chances are that your guests know as much about wine as you do.

Congrats on your refined sense of hearing.

I don't particularly like Cabs, I generally prefer Merlot or a good blend. One surprisingly nice drinking red blend for the price is Menage a Trois. It tastes far better than it's humble price would suggest.

Best regards,

Grape ,would be my choice.

Grape ,would be my choice.

It's all in the grape.

 

[STCM(SW)]

Merlot would be my choice, but I haven't shot a bear.....

Why contribute to a thread you have nothing to contribute to, besides negativity? My momma told me - “when you have nothing nice to say, Say nothing at all” This reminds me of a thread where a guy genuinely asked about opinions on salves/remedies for cracked skin/winter hands. Somebody started spouting off about how nobody here is a doctor and the advice is meaningless; moreover, that the question never should have been posed. Okayyyyy. Do yourself a favor BUB, and get off The Lounge.

Never again.

Depending on the number of guests you might consider getting several different bottles such as cabernet, Pino. Shiraz, or any other dry, red wine your merchant might suggest. This way your guests can experiment, which can be fun. Stay away from Thunderbird (trust me on that one).

Don't forget Beaujolais. I prefer a sweet wine with beef
