Summer Wines for BBQ

When the summer season rolls around, many people pair their BBQ with wine. Here are some of the classic pairings that you may want to consider from The Costco Connection.

Australian Shiraz really complements pork loins and chops and chicken breasts with a savory rub.

Pork ribs prepared with sweeter sauces go well with a red Zinfandel from California, highlighting the rich plum and blackberry flavors.

Lamb lovers should consider a Chateau-neuf-du-Pape. It's spicy notes go perfectly with the earthy flavors in both the wine and the food.

Cabernet Sauvignon goes particularly well with beef. Cabernet from California's Napa or Alexander valleys or the rich, herbal qualities from Chile's Acancagua, Maipo, or Rapel valleys can elevate any beef experience.

Tune in tomorrow for some more great pairings!
