What meat goes with Merlot?

Question

I'm having a small dinner party and I happen to have 4 bottles of expensive Merlot I'd like to share. What kind of meat should I serve?

Answer 1

steak or any beef dish

red wine = beef

white wine = fish, chicken

Answer 2

beef or Italian food

Answer 3

Lamb is one of the best but also beef. Think red meat when paring merlot, but definitely don't limit yourself to this category. Pork also does well with a merlot especially a crown roast of pork.

Rack of Lamb

Leg of Lamb

Lamb Loins

Beef Prime Rib

Beef Rib-eye Steaks

Beef Tenderloin or Fillet Mignon

Pork Crown Roast (This is a fully frenched pork prime rib tied in a circular fashion, very impressive visually)

Answer 4

I would have to recommend a nice Filet.  A Cab is much better with it, but Merlot will work great.

Answer 5

Steak

Answer 6

Pork,Turkey,and Pasta dishes.

Substitutes: Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux

Answer 7

Is there any better cut of meat than Filet Mignon? No sense wasting expensive wine on cheap meat!

Answer 8

Personally I think pasta goes great with merlot. However if it were a sauvingon I'd say beef. But I'm vegetarian and don't eat beef therefore pastas w/red savory sauces also work. Pasta is great =] I'm not convincing you am I =] Oh well suit yourself.
