Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Rose Wine

Zinfandel and rosé Wine are my top picks 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 Big Smooth Old Vine Zinfandel with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

Big Smooth Old Vine Zinfandel

This Big Smooth Zinfandel offers vivid aromas of black plum, dried cherry, fig and that beautiful note of fresh bramble fruit. Additional notes of soy, black tea leaf and Tahitian vanilla add complexity with each swirl of the glass. On the palate, the silky-smooth tannins are pronounced and mouth coating, leading to a rich, full-bodied palate where juicy fruit flavors of boysenberry and pomegranate mingle with freshly shaved coconut and subtle black pepper notes – everything working together harmoniously. The distinct powdery smooth tannins are giving and the overall balance of flavor, structure and texture create an overall outstanding expression of Zinfandel.
