Recommended wine: Shiraz, Tempranillo, Zinfandel

Brisket on the menu? Try pairing with Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel. All these red wines can handle the meaty, smokey flavor of brisket. If you're talking traditional Jewish brisket, you'll want to look for a kosher red wine. The K Vintners Morrison Lane Syrah with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.
