Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel

Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel are great choices for Burger. 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. The Cupcake Vineyards Merlot with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

Cupcake Vineyards Merlot

Sourced from vineyards on California's Central Coast, our Merlot is an elegant expression of the grape. Full-bodied yet smooth, the wine shows aromas of ripe plum, red currants with flavors of blueberries and red cherries that evolve into decadent levels of cocoa, spice and espresso.
