Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Tempranillo

Veggie Burger can be paired with Pinot Noir and Tempranillo. Since veggie burgers are usually lean, you'll want low to medium tannin wines. Pinot noir is a great choice. Another option is Spanish tempranillo, which pairs nicely with the earthy flavors you might have from beans, lentils, mushrooms, etc. The Premonition Cellars Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.

Premonition Cellars Pinot Noir

This wine showcases concentrated flavors of cherry, cranberry and strawberry with hints of herb spices, fennel and oak aromas on the nose. Red berry fruits, tart cranberry, raspberry, and spices coat the palette, finishing with juicy acidity. This cool year helped retain its natural acidity, and the slow ripening allowed for beautifully balanced low alcohol wine. This wine has been barreled for 20 months in French oak, and has warm toasty aromas weaved throughout.
