• A great Aussie tradition is having friends and family over, cooking steak on the bbq and entertaining.
• 2018 Frankland River which goes hand in hand with the Seared Rib-eye here at HQ Bar and Kitchen at Quay Hotel in Perth.
• The region is responsible for wines of power and depth, but they are spicy and layered as well.
•  They’re very different from the shiraz of the east, but they have a firm place on any dinner table, most especially this one: rib eye beef.
• The tannins in the wine bind with the proteins in the meat and in doing that, the wine tastes better, the meat tastes better.
• There’s also something about the juicy fruit flavors of shiraz that line up with the fleshy steak, especially when it’s done like this, on the rarer side.
