Instructions
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
Sprinkle ribs evenly with salt.
Bring orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and pepper to a boil in roasting pan over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Add ribs in 1 layer using tongs, turning to coat, and cover pan tightly with foil.
Braise ribs in oven until very tender, about 2 hours. (If making ahead, see cooks' note, below.)
Reduce oven temperature to 200°F.
Transfer ribs to a baking dish, arranging them in 1 layer, and keep warm in oven.
Skim fat from cooking liquid if desired, then make glaze by boiling liquid, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes.
Brush glaze generously on ribs.
Ribs can be braised 5 days ahead and cooled completely in cooking liquid, uncovered, then chilled, covering them once they are completely cold. To reheat, set roasting pan with ribs and cooking liquid over moderate heat, covered with foil. Simmer, covered, turning once, until they are heated through, about 15 minutes, then transfer ribs to a baking dish and keep warm. Make glaze as directed.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Zinfandel
Pork Ribs can be paired with Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Zinfandel. Pork ribs and other barbecued porks with sweet-and-spicy sauces work well with these red wines. The WindRacer Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.

WindRacer Russian River Pinot Noir
Beautiful aromas of sassafras, mocha and black licorice demonstrate the unique, bold personality of the Russian River Valley. Distinct flavors of brambly fruit, sweet oak and white pepper lead to a broad, balanced wine with food-friendly acidity. Russian River's warm, sunny days and cool foggy nights are optimal for Pinot Noir – the wines have great texture and weight without being overdone or losing their natural acidity. The classic deep, dark aromas and flavors the Russian River is known for shine through in this wine.
