Wine With Your Ribeye?

Oh, gorgeous ribeye, you excite me.

My favorite cut. Pair it with a great glass of wine and I’m in heaven. Literally. Heaven.

Recently, a wine panel in Dallas made recommendations for the perfect pairings of wines less than $25 with herb-garlic buttered ribeyes. That sounds like a dream job to me. But I digress.

Read all about their choices here. Then get your ribeyes and steak butters here for your own feast.

And . . . check out these wine pairings, too. You’re sure to find something that strikes your fancy!!
