Recommended wine: Shiraz, Tempranillo, Zinfandel

Beef Brisket works really well with Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel. All these red wines can handle the meaty, smokey flavor of brisket. If you're talking traditional Jewish brisket, you'll want to look for a kosher red wine. The Bunnell Family Cellar Mountain Syrah with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 47 dollars per bottle.
