Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Rose Wine

Barbecue works really well with Zinfandel and rosé Wine. A rosé is refreshing in hot temperatures and complements sweet and spicy sauces and rubs. Zinfandel is a classic red wine choice for barbecue, especially for pork ribs and beef brisket. The A. Rafanelli Dry Creek Zinfandel with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
