Red Wine Braised Beef

Whether the weather is hot or cold, sometimes you just need a hearty meal. Red Wine Braised Beef is the epitome of heartiness with all of the soul-warming flavor a tender roast provides.

Our braised beef recipe gets a flavor boost by cooking low and slow in a generous helping of our Barrel Select, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend that has been aged in Tennessee oak barrels for over 12 months.

If you don’t have any Barrel Select on hand, any of our other dry reds will do nicely (especially our 3-8-2 !)

Here’s a handy tip: a half bottle of dry red wine that is beginning to oxidize (read: not taste as great as it did two days ago) works fantastically in this recipe.

Give yourself plenty of time to make this dish. It’s perfect for a Sunday supper.
