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. You could try Flechas De Los Andes Gran Malbec (OU Kosher). Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 22 dollars per bottle.
