RIB-STICKING ROAST | FULL-BODIED CAB Beef roasts demand big, brawny red wines, but not just any one will do. The sweet and tangy sauce of Braised Asian Beef wants a fruity red that won't back down, like this rich and jammy Chilean cabernet. Caliterra Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile, $13.
Serve with spicy celery saute, and celeriac mash.
