Chateaubriand
by Francois Cinq-Mars
Chateaubriand, also known as beef tenderloin, is by far my favorite choice for Christmas dinner and the only wines that I consider bold enough to stand up to rare or medium rare beef are Cabernet, Merlot or a Bordeaux Blend.
Here is a list of some wines between $20-$30 that I think are a perfect match for Chateaubriand.
