Quite possibly the best beef I have ever tasted.

A5 Miyazaki beef cooked by yours truly at home, Saturday before last, the 1st November 2019...
...paired with Dassai Saké 23 & 39.

Solomillo de Morucha (the beef of Salamanca, Spain), dinner with the wife, Wednesday the 9th October 2019, at El Mesón de Gonzalo, Salamanca; paired with a bottle of 2014 Contino Reserva.

Chuletón de Carne Rojo de Ávila (the beef of Ávila, Spain), lunch with the wife, Sunday the 13th October 2019, at Restaurante Las Cancelas, Ávila; paired with a bottle of 2004 Marqués de Riscal Baron de Chirel Reserva.

Not quite as exciting as the above, but Painted Hills Prime, grilled at home

Chuletón de Buey de la Rioja, lunch with the wife & some friends, Sunday the 20th October 2019, at El Rincon del Vino, Logroño, la Rioja, Spain...
...paired with 1994 Bodegas Riojanas Monte Real Gran Reserva, 1994 Bodegas Ontañon Gran Reserva, and 1995 Bodegas Marques de Arienzo Gran Reserva.

My pleasure. I spent 3 weeks in Madrid & the Castilla-León area last month (plus several days in la Rioja & Zaragoza, Aragón). Their regional specialties involve a lot of pork & beef. If there is a thread on cochinillo (suckling pig), I could contribute some interesting ones.
