We've certainly never felt the Footbolt was unsuited to a nice juicy steak, but that's not to say the cut and method of cooking can't make a big difference. For a big, bold shiraz like this we normally try to match it with a porterhouse or rump steak. But in all things, there are no rules that you can't break - and if you enjoy this wine more as a dessert tipple then go for it. :) Hi Dennis,
