At Denver, we know that a good wine is the perfect complement to enhance the flavors of an excellent cut of meat. Our selection of national and international wines has been carefully curated to offer our diners an exceptional pairing experience. In this guide, we present our pairing recommendations for some of Denver’s most popular cuts, helping you discover the perfect combination of flavor and sophistication.
1. Sirloin Steak and Malbec
The Cut: Sirloin Steak, a favorite in Latin America, is known for its juiciness and a layer of fat that adds deep flavor and a smooth texture. It’s ideal for those who enjoy a robust flavor profile.
Perfect Pairing: An Argentinian Malbec is the ideal accompaniment for Sirloin Steak. Its fruity notes and soft tannins complement the intensity of the cut, enhancing its juiciness and adding a fruity touch that balances the experience on the palate. This combination creates a harmonious pairing that highlights both the flavor of the wine and the meat.
2. Ribeye and Cabernet Sauvignon
The Cut: Ribeye is known for its intense marbling, which gives it great juiciness and a deep flavor. Its tender texture and robust profile make it a favorite for meat lovers.
Perfect Pairing: A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is ideal for accompanying Ribeye. This wine offers structured tannins and notes of dark fruit and spices that enhance the richness of the cut without overwhelming it. Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic pairing that brings out the intensity of Ribeye, creating a perfect balance between the meat and wine.
3. Tenderloin and Pinot Noir
The Cut: Also known as Tenderloin, this is one of the most tender and delicate cuts, with a mild flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s perfect for those who prefer a more subtle, less fatty cut.
Perfect Pairing: A Pinot Noir is the ideal companion for Tenderloin. This wine, with its red fruit notes and light body, complements the delicacy of the cut without overpowering its flavor. The softness of Pinot Noir harmonizes with the texture of Tenderloin, creating an elegant and balanced pairing experience.
4. Tomahawk and Syrah
The Cut: The Tomahawk is an impressive cut known for its size, marbling, and bold flavor. It’s ideal for sharing and offers a robust, memorable experience.
Perfect Pairing: To accompany the Tomahawk, we recommend a full-bodied Syrah. This wine, with its notes of dark fruits and spices, complements the bold profile of the Tomahawk and adds a layer of complexity to the pairing. The structure of Syrah allows both flavors to stand out without overshadowing each other, achieving a strong and balanced combination.
5. T-Bone and Merlot
The Cut: The T-Bone combines two textures in one piece: the tenderloin and the strip loin, separated by a “T” shaped bone. This cut is ideal for those who want to enjoy a variety in one dish.
Perfect Pairing: A Merlot is the ideal choice to accompany the T-Bone. Its medium body, soft tannins, and plum and cherry notes complement the different textures and flavors of the T-Bone. Merlot balances the richness of both parts of the cut, offering a complete and enjoyable experience.
