Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel

Meatloaf works really well with Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Meatloaf will work with many red wines. We recommend something bold and fruity, like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel. The Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry Champagne offers aromas of ripe apple complemented by hints of citrus. Toasty flavors complement the creamy, lingering finish. Best served chilled (36-40 °F), this bubbly is perfectly balanced with multiple layers of fruit to delight the palate.
