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. You could try Hullabaloo Zinfandel. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.
Hullabaloo Zinfandel
Hullabaloo Zinfandel
The 2012 Hullabaloo displays aromas of boysenberry, licorice andwhite pepper on the nose, with well-structured flavors of wild cherry, blueberry, cola and raspberry fruit dominating the palate and ending with a nice dash of spice on the finish. This wine will continue to age gracefully for the next 5 - 7 years.
