There are few pairings that marry as naturally as Cab and Beef. So to the table comes this perfect marriage of Meat & Fish Co.’s 16oz Boneless Ribeye steaks with two fleshy, concentrated hard-to-find Cabernets— 2010 Wallis Estate’s and 2010 Somerston’s Stornoway Red. The food and wine will ship separately to assure freshness.

T HE G R APPA M AST E R Since 1977, distiller-extraordinaire Paolo Marolo in Alba, Italy has crafted intensely pure Grappas using the traditional approach of keeping his copper running continuously through the harvest season. From what I’ve learned, this method is only successful with those with experience and precise attention to detail. After tasting these offerings, the proof is in the bottle that Paolo is a Grappa perfectionist.
