When talking about steakhouse drinking selections tend to veer more towards martinis, scotches and pricey bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon. But this summer Barclay Prime (237 S. 18th St.) is taking a much more lighthearted approach to wine pairing with their newly introduced Summer of Rosé.
General manager Jason Ferris has lined up a list of ten rosés, both new world and old, to highlight the food-friendliness and versatility of these easy summertime sippers. Ranging in hue from pale blush to deep magenta, Ferris's selections are just as at home with a seafood plateau and beef tartare as they do with say, a dry aged New York Strip. All ten rosés are available by the glass and by the bottle all summer long.
