We did a strip loin roast for NYE and took it tour our good friends house (was incredible, cooked on the kettle with no wood smoke to a perfect just below medium rare). To pair with the meat, our friends busted out an incredible 2011 Chateauneuf du pape that was originally a wedding gift from my wife and I.
A great wine paired perfectly with food is an incredible experience, and this was no exception. If you ever feel like splurging on a great red, anything from Chateauneuf du pape is pretty darn good in my experience.
There is a pic attached of the roast in which you can see the small dish of juice I collected from the foil that I cambro'd in for 45 minutes while the herd of guests arrived. Everyone else was too grossed out by the juice which was great because there was more for me. Meat dipped in juice followed by that wine was heaven.
