Hi folks, we'll be doing a prime rib roast for our Xmas feast this weekend. I have some choices for what wine to pour with the meal and would love some feedback.
I've got a couple of cabernets, a syrah, several zinfandels and zin-based blends, and a 2012 Rioja Reserva. I've read discussion about whether a roasted (as opposed to smoked) rib roast needs something as assertive as a cab, and that perhaps a zin would be a good match. Of course, as always in the world of writing about wine, the use of adjectives that have no agreed meaning is pretty widespread... happy to hear any suggestions/experiences. Probably can't go wrong with any of these, but hey, one geeks out as one must.
