Steak with Barbecue Sauce
Sweet, smoky, sticky, and acidic all at once, barbecue sauce is one of the most flavour-forward accompaniments a steak can wear. The wine needs the fruit weight to match the sweetness, the body to handle the beef, and enough character to ride alongside the smoke without disappearing. Delicate wines have no place here.
