Wine
with Standing Rib Roast
|
A
Standing Rib Roast is a very flavorful and delicious cut
of beef that is extemely tender when prepared properly. A Standing
Rib Roast is found between the Short Loin and the Chuck and
still has the rib bones attached.
|
The
individual portions of a Standing Rib Roast are known as Prime
Rib. In a restaurant, you should request an end piece if you
want it to be less rare; or, you should request a center piece
for less well done.
|
Because
of the great flavor of a Standing Rib Roast and the fat that
is in and around much of the meat, it is an ideal food to go
with Cabernet
Sauvignon, Red
Bordeaux or Merlot.
Other wines such as Pinot
Noir, Red
Burgundy, Zinfandel
or Syrah/Shiraz
will work but the bigger wines previously mentioned will be
better.
|
You
should avoid getting a very good (read as 'expensive') Cabernet,
Bordeaux or Merlot that is young and very tannic. While a young
tannic wine will work, you'll enjoy a wine with more age in
which the tannins have subsided somewhat.
