Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Rose Wine

Zinfandel and rosé Wine are great choices for Barbecue. A rosé is refreshing in hot temperatures and complements sweet and spicy sauces and rubs. Zinfandel is a classic red wine choice for barbecue, especially for pork ribs and beef brisket. The Boneshaker Old Vine Zinfandel with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

A vibrant ruby red color in the glass, this 2018 Zinfandel opens with aromas of cherry, toasted oak, a hint of leather and spice notes. On the palate, perfectly ripe red berry fruit flavors are accompanied by a seamless structure, gentle lingering spice flavors, and toasty finish.
