Sounds great. I'm curious as to how you serve your S & T. Do you do the lobster first, then the beef, or both at the same time with a glass of white and red?

Tonight:

Grilled chicken and beef fajitas
Negro Modelo & Pacifico
Margaritas
Piña coladas (with fresh cream)
Herradura Añejo

Lobster & meat served at the same time.
I elected to consume lobster first, with the Chard, followed by the meat with the Cab.

It worked. Both wines showed well. The Chard was a particularly good pairing.
