  • Leo Brancazio

    rare to medium rare with a side of sauteed mushrooms in wine reduction sauce.

  • Kevin_C

    Would love to share the Silver Oak with family and friends over the holidays.

    QOTD: Medium Rare makes a perfect steak for me. Can’t be afraid of the mad cow.

  • Kristen

    Thanks for all of your hard work GV!! That’s why there’s so much love around! That’s such an interesting idea to pair a late harvest Riesling with steak. Now that’s something I’ll most certainly try out.

    QOTD: I like my steak medium-well.

  • Don Y

    Med Rare, well seared. Just sea salt and fresh ground pepper. YUM

  • LGG

    QOTD: Medium for me!

  • Keith L

    I do have a black wrist band, email the picture, but you never put it up. I think you fell down a little there.

    QOTD: Medium over real charcoal with a little garlic salt.

    Glad I subscribe to your email or I would have missed the 12 Days of Xmas. Great promotion!

    Mott, Link… It… UP….

  • An Impériale of Silver Oak? That will need a BIG steak.

    QOTD: Kickin’ & Bleedin’. Light, garlic & Pepper-based marinade. Aged cool climate Petit Syrah.

  • QOTD: Medium Rare

    Justin Meyer RIP

    When future historians write about Justin Meyer and his role in the California wine industry, they will certainly devote a fair amount of space to the outstanding Cabernets he created at Silver Oak Cellars. And rightly so. Silver Oak Cabernets were always at or near the best you could find. But, in the end, Meyer’s most important contribution will be his influence in bringing growers and winemakers together to shape the very future of California wine.

    (On August 6, 2002 Justin R. Meyer died of a heart attack while on vacation near Lake Tahoe. Steve Rubenstein, the veteran San Francisco Chronicle reporter wrote: “Mr. Meyer was a man who enjoyed making wine, drinking wine, talking about wine and instilling in others his devotion to wine, all duties he performed with unbridled passion and skill.”)

    Amazing that the white dessert wine was the only winner. I find that tempranillo pairs extremely well with steak. QOTD: Medium Rare! maybe even rare when it’s a really nice cut. But truthfully I could eat it anyway if I had to cuz it’s by far my favorite food in the world. Man i’d love to throw a party and just stick that huge bottle in the middle of my table with a straw or ladle in it, lol.

  • Travis H.

    QOTD: Medium for lean cuts, medium-rare for marbled cuts.

    QotD: The steak I put together is simple, olive oil rubbed, seasoned (Montreal Stead Blend), cooked medium rear (135F)over a 400 degrees F grill. Can’t wait to try it with a late harvest riesling.

    Congrats to EricOV!! Even though that bottle was supposed to be mine!! Now I have to wait for the 6L Silver Oak!!!

    QOTD – Medium Rare with Bernaise Sauce on the side….

  • This was really good episode, I love food pairing ep’s they are a great insight to how a wine can stand up.

    Steak should be eaten medium rare, which should still be pink, not bloody red, but a nice moist warm pink so you can still taste the flavor in the meat. Some nice pepper grounds cooked into the meat is also a great addition.
