Grilled steak has a lot going on: char, fat, smoke, umami. Here are two picks from our shelf. Prices are as listed on our site on October 30, 2026, when both were in stock.
An everyday red for the griller. At $25 you can buy two bottles without a second thought: one for dinner, one for the glass you pour while you're still at the grill.
A Rhône red that is easy to drink through a full meal. It's a good option if you're doing skirt steak, flank, or anything with a marinade, and a crowd-pleaser if you're feeding people with different palates.
One rule of thumb: match the intensity of the cut to the intensity of the wine. Fattier, well-marbled steaks like ribeye and porterhouse want a wine with structure; leaner cuts or quick weeknight grilling suit a lighter red.
What we'd skip for steak night: the Domaine Romy Beaujolais ($22). In our opinion it's better for charcuterie or lighter fare than for a serious piece of beef.
We're at 1128 W Armitage Ave in Lincoln Park. Stop in and we'll point you to the right one for your cut.
