Cabernet Sauvignon is the most iconic grape in the American wine world, and has found a forever home at Frank Family Vineyards. Every year on the third Thursday before Labor Day, the world celebrates \u201cInternational Cabernet Day,\u201d a fun holiday dedicated to our favorite grape. In its honor, Chef Christina is sharing a classic pairing partner for her grilled hanger steak: Frank Family’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tannins and acidity of the Cabernet perfectly cut through the fatty and salty flavors of the steak. Additionally, the wine\u2019s full-bodied flavor notes of dark cherry, oak, and nutmeg balance and add complexity to her salsa verde. This pairing is perfect for your season-ending Labor Day Weekend barbecue or an elegant steak dinner at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
