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 Valravn Old Vine Zinfandel with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

A very lifted aroma of simmering berry sauce emanates from the glass. In the mouth there is a cascade of blue and red fruits alike, comprised of copious amounts of blueberry, cassis and blackberry compote with the faintest hint of blood orange lingering around the perimeter of the core. It is framed in a mocha bean and chocolate ganache flavor. The energetic and long finish presents a sense of freshness that invites further drinking.
