🍇Pairing Wine With BBQ 🍇

It's officially warm weather season and that means it's time to fire up the grill! So let's find some wines that compliment different food types you'll be cooking on the barbecue:

Rule 1: Red wines pair excellently with barbecued grilled meats that are higher in fat like pork and beef. This is because the high fat content balances out the tannins in red wine. The BBQ sauce also is an important key factor when pairing with reds

Rule 2: For those who prefer leaner meats like grilled chicken and fish, simple yet sophisticated wines pair best. Think citrusy, light and crisp.

BBQ PORK

Red wines with a high fruit factor or even a touch of sweetness pair well alongside pork. 

BBQ BEEF

Wines that enhance the richness and pepper flavors in grilled beef make a great choice as their earthy mineral flavors complement red meat well.

Grilled Chicken & Fish

Use herbal, sweet and zippy wines to pair with lighter meats. Glaze sauces pair with sweeter wines and herb rubs pair with oaky and herbal wines.
