At Jakers Bar and Grill, we believe that the perfect steak deserves the perfect wine. Pairing wine with steak is an art, and when done right, it can elevate your dining experience to new heights. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking to enhance your next meal, we’re here to guide you through the best wine pairings for our most popular steak dishes.
Understanding the Basics of Wine Pairing
- Pairing wine with food is all about balance. The goal is to match the weight and flavor intensity of the wine with the richness of the steak. At Jakers, we offer a variety of steak cuts, each with its own unique flavor profile, and our wine selection is carefully curated to complement these flavors.
Pairing Guide for Jakers’ Signature Steaks
- Filet Mignon with Pinot Noir: Our tender, buttery Filet Mignon pairs perfectly with a light to medium-bodied Pinot Noir. The wine’s subtle red fruit flavors and soft tannins enhance the delicate texture of the filet without overpowering it.
- Ribeye with Cabernet Sauvignon: The Ribeye is known for its rich marbling and intense flavor. A bold Cabernet Sauvignon, with its robust tannins and dark fruit notes, is the ideal match. The wine’s structure cuts through the fat of the Ribeye, creating a harmonious balance on the palate.
- Prime Rib with Merlot: Our succulent Prime Rib, with its savory, juicy flavors, pairs beautifully with a Merlot. This medium-bodied wine has soft tannins and notes of plum and chocolate, which complement the rich, beefy taste of the Prime Rib.
