Top filets with a tablespoon each of crumbled Gorgonzola and serve atop Pan-Roasted Cremini Mushrooms & Fennel Bulb.

Pair with

  • Cabernet Sauvignon

    The premier red grape varietal in the world! From Bordeaux to Napa, it produces distinctive wines that are tannic, with long aging potential. Dark cherry, cedar, tobacco and black currant are common flavor descriptors.

  • Merlot

    This wine is deep in color, high in alcohol, and low in tannin. The Bordeaux Merlot variety is very similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, but softer because it is less tannic. Merlot has aromas and flavors that include blackberry, cassis, baked cherries, plums, chocolate and mocha ... some suggest tea leaves.
