Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel

Cheeseburger 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. The Citra Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.

Citra Merlot

Fragrant aromas and soft, round fruit flavors that develop into a smooth finish.Medium bodied and fragrant, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted herbed chicken, lightly sauced red meats, and pasta.
