Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Rose Wine

Zinfandel and rosé Wine are my top picks for Barbecue. 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 Frank Family Vineyards Zinfandel with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 33 dollars per bottle.

With a dark magenta core and ruby hues around the rim, the 2011 Napa Valley Zinfandel delivers a delicate scent of red fruit and violets, while hints of sandalwood, sage and pepper embellish the sophisticated nose. The finesse on the palate reflects an elegant Zinfandel that is well balanced. Juicy black cherry pie and adequate levels of oak marry seamlessly.Blend: 89% Zinfandel, 11% Petite Sirah
