We are having some people over tomorrow night for a prime rib dinner. What would be a good wine for this occasion?
- Thomas - 12-17-1999
In general, a dry California red like Cabernet Sauvignon or French Bordeaux or anything along those lines form any region.

With Prime rib I like a full bodied Pinot Noir like Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard, David Bruce, Gary Farrell or Byron Reserve.
Or perhaps a Syrah or Shiraz (same grape): Columbia Winery "Red Willow" Syrah at around $25..1995,6, or 7...all killer.
Geyser Peak Shiraz or Reserve Shiraz...any vintage...or for a bargain (about $10) Forest Glen.
Rosemount from Australia is a another value producer.
