Hi kamoco, and welcome.
There are more knowledgable people here than I, and I am sure they can give you other sugestions.
But I would go with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. One that I had reciently that I liked is Spy Valley. Kim Crawford is also good. Both can be found for less than $15.
Well some how I got switched over to this new post and now I see you may need a red wine. Probaly a Pinot Noir would work. Villa Mt. Eden or Pepperwood Grove are both good.
Just thought of another angle. A sparkling wine would be good also. If you can find a Prosecco that would go well, IMHO. It's not red but would be good for Valentines Day.

The pinot noir would work. If you want something Italian if this indeed is an Italian meal look for a light Barbera d'Asti (the lighter ones are the less expensive ones) or a light Chianti Classico such as Cecchi. All should be available in any Pennsylvania State store.

There's nothing like a really good young Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with a grilled ribeye steak, garlic mashed potatoes and a freshly baked baguette, IMHO. Yum!

Do yu think the steak fat helps tone down the tannins on a young Cab.?

Absolutely!

Conversely, the young tannins moderate the occasionally cloying quality of the fats in the steak. Perfect match.
