Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Sparkling Rose

Zinfandel and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Barbecue Chicken. Fruity, low tannin zinfandel is great for any sticky, saucy barbecue chicken dish. If you're not feeling red wine, a sparkling rosé will work too. One wine you could try is Marimar Estate Don Miguel Vineyard Cristina Pinot Noir. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 48 dollars.

This is a wine for aging, yet lovely to drink right now. The complex nose displays aromas of blackberries, plum preserves and sandalwood. The palate, broad and seamless, shows perfect balance between the attractive fruit and the elegant oak. The lively acidity carries the wine to the end and ensures the long aging potential of this magnificent wine.
