Cab Sauv
Look local!
Full-bodied, complex, fruit forward. What you want is a wine with good acidity and tannin structure - not just a fruit bomb. Tannins and acids help the wine to cut through the fattiness of the steak. Cab Sauv is grown all around the world, so support a local producer if you can!
You also can't go wrong with a heavier red, such as a Shiraz or Nebbiolo.

Cabernet Sauvignon was created by crossing Cabernet Franc (a red grape) and Sauvignon Blanc (a white grape). It's the most planted grape in the world!
