Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel

Burger on the menu? Try pairing with Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel. 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 EOD Cellars Warrior Senior Blaster Merlot Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 25 dollars per bottle.
