• What to drink:
• The king of roasts meets its match in the king of wines. Dijon mustard's pleasant sharpness softens Cabernet's big tannins. With the roast, try the ROBERT MONDAVI 2006 CABERNET SAUVIGNON OAKVILLE (California, $45). The wine's spice and blackberry flavors are perfect with the beef.
