The Art of Pairing Wine with Steak


At PRIME, we know that the perfect steak deserves the perfect wine. But how do you make the best match? Here’s a quick guide to pairing wine with your steak of choice!

Filet Mignon & Pinot Noir
Filet Mignon is known for its tenderness and subtle flavor. A light-bodied Pinot Noir brings out the delicate richness without overpowering the meat. Look for earthy notes that complement the filet's melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ribeye & Cabernet Sauvignon
A well-marbled ribeye craves a bold partner. Cabernet Sauvignon, with its strong tannins and dark fruit flavors, balances the steak’s richness, creating a mouthwatering harmony of flavors.

New York Strip & Malbec
This cut has a nice balance of fat and flavor. A spicy Malbec enhances the natural beefiness while standing up to the juicy texture.

At PRIME, we take pride in curating a wine list that perfectly complements our steaks. Ask our team for recommendations, and elevate your dining experience today.

How Is Bourbon Different From Whiskey?

Image
  Whiskey is made all across the world, and across America, too, but here’s the headline when it comes to bourbon:   Bourbon is a type of American whiskey, made with at least 51% corn. Remember that, and everything else falls into place. *Bourbon drinkers are fond of saying, All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. *Bourbon is America’s take on whiskey that came over with the original colonists and immigrants from Europe. *People arriving in America brought their distilling traditions with them and adapted them to the grains and materials at hand to create a new kind of whiskey. Corn thrived in the U.S. more than rye and barley, so the colonists and early immigrants pivoted toward it as a base for their whiskies. *Whiskey is a broader category, and the grains will vary depending on the type of whiskey. For example,   Scotch whiskey is made from malted (germinated) barley, while American rye whiskey contains at least 51% rye grain. (Rye made elsewhere may va...

The Evolution of Brunch Beverages

  Brunch at Prime, here at YOUR Sky Meadow—the perfect fusion of breakfast and lunch, and the ideal excuse to sip a cocktail before noon without judgment. The history of brunch beverages is a fun mix of cultural influences, creative twists, and a whole lot of flavors. Let’s start with the Mimosa, the OG brunch cocktail. Born in the 1920s at the Hôtel Ritz Paris, this bubbly blend of champagne and orange juice quickly became a brunch favorite. Its fizzy charm was all about adding a little sparkle to a lazy morning. Not far behind was the Bloody Mary, which also started in 1920s Paris but found its true home in the U.S. This spicy tomato juice-based drink, often loaded with garnishes, earned a reputation as the ultimate hangover cure and became a brunch essential. As brunch became more of a “thing”, so did the variety of drinks. Enter the Bellini—a close cousin to the Mimosa, but with a twist of Italian flair. Made with Prosecco and peach purée, the Bellini brought a sweet, refreshin...

History of Some of the Most Popular Cocktails ordered at Prime

This week school is OUT, so I figured a little trivia would be fun for the Summer: The Martini, a symbol of elegance and sophistication, dates back to the late 19th century. The origins are debated, but one popular story suggests it evolved from a cocktail called the Martinez, served in California. A gold miner, celebrating his newfound wealth, ordered something special at the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco. The bartender mixed gin, vermouth, a dash of bitters, and a lemon twist, creating the Martini. An amusing twist came later when a bartender served it with an olive, sparking endless debates over the "proper" garnish. Next, the Old Fashioned, a cocktail as timeless as its name suggests. It was born in the early 1800s, when cocktails were simply spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. Colonel James E. Pepper, a bourbon distiller, introduced the Old Fashioned to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York City. The Colonel’s preference for simplicity in an era of elaborate drin...
