Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Malbec, Zinfandel

Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Zinfandel are great choices for Sloppy Joe. All these red wines pair well with a sloppy joe's ground beef and tomato sauce. The Artezin Mendocino Zinfandel with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

Artezin Mendocino Zinfandel

A dark garnet, almost brooding Vermillion red color is striking in theglass, much richer and deeper than previous vintages. Aromas of red fruits dominate, showing pomegranate, cherry and boysenberry, accented by white pepper and cedary oak spice. Flavors bring a smile, truly ‘Zinny’ led by raspberry and loganberry nicely presented with allspice and classic Zinfandel spice character. This wine is almost plush, round and coating, with fine grain tannins and a decidedly long finish, suggesting the potential for aging with further complexities and nuances yet to be revealed. Still, this will bring a smile of immediate satisfaction, particularly when paired with robust grilled meats, rich pastas such as Rigatoni Bolognese, hearty stews and artisan cheeses.
