Ok, we all know that steak and Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic pairing. Maybe not the most adventurous or daring, but classic and for good reason. I spend a great deal of time traveling around the country tasting people on Michel-Schlumberger. This past week I had the pleasure of visiting Miami pre-tourist season. The weather was perfect and the locals are all calm, preparing for the tourist storm.
I already know what you are going to say,”why would you go to Miami to get a steak with all that fresh local seafood?” I hear you, and normally I would agree with you, but trust me when I say go to Prime One Twelve for a steak. Prime 112 is a sleek modern steak house on Ocean Drive in South Beach. This restaurant is always full, always delicious and always a scene.
Sommelier, Matthew Heinz, has supported Michel-Schlumberger for years and has just put the 2006 Chardonnay “La Brume” and 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon “Deux Terres” on the menu. As a matter on fact, Prime 112 is one of the first restaurants on the east coast to offer the 2004 Deux Terres.
Oh yes, the pairing, steak and Cab good, but dry aged prime, perfectly grilled and lightly seasoned with the finest sea salt, paired with our finest Cabernet, 2004 Deux Terres, is mmm, mmm, good. Simple ingredients done well with complex flavors that blend together perfectly and make the other even better.
Book your table in advance, make sure you say hi to Matt and enjoy the start of your night out in South Beach. Btw, your were right, the seafood at Prime 112 is out of this world.

That’s great, Jayme. Go ahead and rub it in. We’re here at the winery, in the middle of harvest, living off of burritos and beer…
The steak dinner is the rare exception. Far more typical is a Cliff bar and hotel room coffer for breakfast, tiny bag of airplane peanuts for lunch and anything available and edible when you finally check into the hotel at midnight. Plus, I have had the burritos and tacos from Guadalajara’s and they are awesome!
He only had those dishes because he stole them off of my plate as well!
We shared because neither of us could decide; if I am being completely honest!!!!!
