Answer 3

Roast beef tends to have a fairly high fat content, so you want a red (DO NOT serve with a white or blush, contrary to some of the advice here so far) with a fair amount of acidity. Roast beef also tends to be salty (due to chronic over seasoning) and you're using au jus, which just adds to this, so you want something that will stand up to the powerful flavor. I would recommend a heavy Shiraz/Syrah. My favorite of late is the Henschke Keyneton Estate 2001. But you can go really well for less by trying the Rosemont Shiraz '02 if price point is a factor. But the Henschke is FAR superior.

ps. if you're going for something other than shiraz, make sure to go for less tannin (STEER CLEAR of most CA cabs)
, as tannins and fatty, salty meats don't really mix.

Answer 4

Traditionally a big red wine would be paired with red meat, especially something like a roast of beef. I would recommend a cabernet or good Australian shiraz. If you do not like a red wine with a lot of tannins (which is a slightly bitter taste like when you bite the seed of a grape) then it would be acceptable to drink a nice pinot noir as well. If you are looking at French wines, Bordeaux is a cabernet blend and a Burgundy would be a pinot noir. Any more if you go to a quality wine shop and speak with the sales person you can find a very nice bottle of domestic cab for around $10. Australian Shiraz can be a real bargain as well. If you are looking for a pinot noir I think one from Oregon would be the best value.

Answer 5

A plain roast beef au jus is the PERFECT meat for pinot noir
(or pinot noir blends with gamay, like Swiss dole or French passetoutgrains). But if the beef has been salted and peppered and has been roasted with potatoes, onions, garlic then you should consider that and alternatives (yes, including cabernets and merlots and nebbiolos and zinfandels and sangioveses and Riojas and shirazes, among others) should be considered.

Answer 6

Zinfandel, Merlot, or Cabernet Saunignon. All go very well with Roast Beef.

Answer 7

A good fruity California Cabernet, Red Zinfandel or an Australian Shiraz - lots out there for $10-15/bottle. Skip the Merlot (most of the "reasonable" stuff is swill - most people order it because it has only 2 syllables) and Pinot Noir (everything below $30/bottle is likely to be mediocre). Whomever suggested white wine in my opinion is seriously brain dead - Gee, let's hear it for white zinfandel 8-P!

Answer 8

Sterling Cabernet

Answer 9

I love roast beef with a light bodied red or white. I find the white allows for more flavour of the beef and au just to come thru. Try a Reisling or a Pinto Grigio/Gris.

Answer 10

Merlot
