A well-mannered wine to travel next to Steak?

Peppercorn sause, boiled/ roast new potatoes and doesn`t matter what else i can find.

Answers:
Taking into account the cream i.e. being used contained by the sauce, I would recommend looking toward Grenache based wines. due to its untaught high alcohol content, this help cut through the richness of the cream, whilst having plenty body to stand up to the steak.

Grenache is most popular in Southern French and Spanish wines (Garnacha within Spain), so I would look at those regions to begin next to.

My choice would be Rhone which are just the mutts nutts, and these are blended next to Syrah (shiraz) amongst others. As it is the daddy of meats I would look to spend between lb5 - lb8 - $9 - $15; 8 - 13 euro).

Unless logically you are entertaining then start at lb14 for a Chateauneuf des Papes, Mother Nature's road of saying "if you don't verbs tonight you never will"
medium red.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot
Un rioja desde luego. It's a Spanish Wine. Very high-flying for its taste.
How more or less - 'this bloody steak isn't cooked right, it's too chewy and practically tasteless'?

Oh, sorry, I misread your question, I thought you said whine
McGuiggin's Red Merlot
Merlot, Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon. Not White Zinfandel but Red.

Best Regards.
Sterling vineyard makes some fully clad reds that are around 12$ the cabernet, merlot and shiraz are all really tasty beside steak.
Argentine Malbec is generally devout with steak, not to mention man inexpensive. You can get a pretty fully clad bottle for $10-15; look for something from Mendoza.

Another favorite is Coppola Claret, which is really quite a negotiate for how good it is. Be sure to tolerate it breathe.

If you can find it, L'Ecole No. 41 Merlot and Cabernet (from Washington State) are both quite dutiful. So is virtually anything from Whitman Cellars, but especially their cabernet. A more moderately priced Washington wine that goes very well with steak is the Chateau Ste. Michelle cabernet.
I'd be in motion for Montepulciano D'Abbruzzio. It's an italian one, goes excellently near steak and is recomended by many restaurants.
Merlot - don't forget to dispense.
anything red, try a Merlot
I'd agree with Jason. A Montepulciano D'Abruzzo would be angelic but if you can get a Refosco that would be better.
Chateauneuf du pape or Nuits st george.
Any California cabernet sauvignon and merlot of your choice or check out a Chilean wine call Santa Maria cabernet sauvignon or a merlot.
fleuri
Whatever wine you normally drink and resembling.

I disagree that you should only hold certain wines near certain foods...b/c one-sidedly i don't care how "great" a merlot or minicab can be and it wouldn't make a difference beside what food i'm eating I DON'T close to room temp. wines...they have to be chilled.

I drink anything i'm in the mood..So should ya
Luna di Luna. Its a merlot/cabernet mix. It comes within an all red bottle. Good price also.
A Washington Merlot similar to Covey Run might work, though the peppercorn sauce is begging for Australian Shiraz similar to Penfolds Thomas Hyland.
Hmm . . . it's the Peppercorn sauce that has me thinking as it depends upon the content of the sauce. I've have great luck eating peppercorn encrusted NY Strips near either an Argentinian Malbec or a Syrah and matched a mild peppercorn sauce medallion near an Australian Shiraz.

Really, you probably won't go wrong beside a decent atmosphere to full red. Check your local wine dealer if you are stumped. Haskell's surrounded by Minneapolis recommended a Graffigna Malbec and I loved it.
