Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Zinfandel

Pork Ribs works really well with Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Zinfandel. Pork ribs and other barbecued porks with sweet-and-spicy sauces work well with these red wines. The Willamette Valley Vineyards Whole Cluster rosé of Pinot Noir with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
