8 TASTY REDS FOR SUMMER BBQs

Red wines are a great choice for pairing with your summer BBQ foods. Burgers and ribs are especially red wine friendly, and with lots of choices, your likely to find several wines to match your tasties.
Wines with vanilla and spice notes are quite good with fatty meats. A smoky note is also a good choice when pairing ribs. Jammy notes in wine often provide a rich fruity taste. Blended red wines are also a good choice, and usually quite affordable.

Like white wines, the alcohol content in red wines can vary, with alcohol percentage ranging from 11 to 14% or more. Zinfandel is one of the best reds for a good alcohol content, and they have a great selection of notes to choose from.

There are plenty of red wine varietals; common choices include Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Pinotage, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Gamay, Shiraz, Grenache, Corvina, Red Blend, and Baco Noir.
And, you don't have to chill red wines. Simply pour yourself a glass, and sip, while your ribs and burgers are sizzling on the BBQ!
