Over all the holidays and during the summer especially, we try to turn people on to the Linz Beef we get in to the store. It is clearly better tasting than the supermarket beef that is out there and we want to prove that point.
At this tasting we are going to cook off ribeye steaks of varying quality: supermarket USDA Choice, Linz USDA Choice, Linz USDA Prime, and Linz USDA Prime Dry Aged Ribeyes. You’ll get to compare all of these on your plate. The steaks will be simply prepared with salt and seared with a touch of oil and plenty of butter.
Once you know what you like, we’ll have order forms for you to put in your steak order. We’ll have the steaks or roasts cut to your specifications and in the store ready for you to pick up for your Valentine’s Day dinner or we can package them for you so you can freeze them for another occasion.
Along with the steaks we will have three red wines to taste that will be sold at a discount at the time of the event.
Pauillac de Lynch-Bages (Famille JM Cazes) – Pauillac 2020---Sold at event for $54/btl. (Regularly 64.99)
Truly a baby Lynch-Bages (well, their third wine) it is a wonder that this member of the Lynch-Bages Family is not more widely lauded. That is to say it is pretty much a perfect expression of Pauillac — impressive and rich, all autumn, cedar and dark berries. It was first created in 2009 and is made entirely from the fruit of the property. The wine comes from the younger vines and is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It is a wonderful introduction to the property and has a young fruit character which gives a forward, supple style that delivers delicious early drinking all while clearly being a Pauillac.
Black Slate Priorat 2020 - $23 (regularly 27.99)
Tickets are $20 and include steak and wine samples
Linz Heritage Angus
The best quality we have found in years
We've stood by Linz beef as some of the best quality beef we can purchase for years. Aside from Wagyu, Linz beef has consistently had the best quality and flavor of any beef we have tried and their prices have remained competitive. When they say a cut is prime, it consistently has the marbling we expect. Their choice cuts are also of high quality with marbling above what we typically see in the choice beef one can buy elsewhere.
They leave nothing to chance by controlling every aspect from conception to plate. They wet age all of their beef which breaks down the connective tissue making a more tender and flavorsome bite. Their dry aging process goes further, giving the beef an intense flavor. Linz Heritage Angus continues to build a legacy of superior genetics to consistently produce the most marbled Angus in the world.
It isn't easy to get their beef in, as we have to plan far in advance with them and adhere to minimums, but we know it's worth it.
