Recommended wine: Malbec, Merlot, Zinfandel

Malbec, Merlot, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Burger. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Bodega DiamAndes Uco Malbec with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
