Omaha Steaks, America's Original Butcher, has announced an exclusive partnership with Laithwaites, the home delivery wine service, to curate an exclusive range of international wines.
The commitment to premium quality and expert curation lies at the heart of both family businesses. Omaha Steaks is passionate about enhancing its customers' dining experiences. To that end, the company was determined to create its own range of wines to pair perfectly with its signature dishes—just like a fine steakhouse has its own "House Wines".
To select the wines, the team worked hand-in-hand with Laithwaites over a number of months, and was proud to announce the launch of the Omaha Steaks 1917 wine range, which is named after the year the Simon family's business opened shop.
Each wine is handcrafted to make the world's best steak, pork, seafood, and poultry taste even better. The first three wines in the range are a silky, smoky Red Blend from Portugal, a bright, food-friendly French Chardonnay, and a luxuriously rich Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon.
After a thorough search, the company selected Laithwaites as its exclusive wine partner due to their shared values and family heritage. Founded by Tony Laithwaite in 1969, Laithwaites was the world's first direct-to-home wine service. Tony Laithwaite's son, Tom Laithwaite, will serve as Cellar Director for Omaha Steaks Wine.
Laithwaites has local experts on the ground in all the world's key wine regions. Together, they taste over 40,000 wines each year. Only the best (less than two percent) make the cut. These are boutique wines from smaller, family-run estates that will perfectly enhance Omaha Steaks' gourmet food offerings.
"We are thrilled to be working with the Laithwaite family to deliver the ultimate wine pairings to our customers. Whether it's a family gathering, a special celebration or a quiet evening at home, the combination of Omaha Steaks and Laithwaites Wine effortlessly elevates any meal into a gourmet experience," said Todd Simon, chairman and chief steak evangelist.
"Juicy steak and succulent wine have been among the world's greatest pairings for thousands of years. This partnership is about more than just food and drink; it's about creating moments that matter. We invite you to join us on this culinary journey, savouring the harmony of flavours that only the finest steaks and wines can provide," remarked Tony Laithwaite.
