Red Wine & BBQ
Some helpful tips about serving red wines with BBQ from David Gray of Portland's Examiner.com:
- Don't be afraid to cool down the reds a bit. Leave them in a cooler on a tray left on top of ice to bring them down to a desireable 65 degrees.
- Serve the wines in proper wine glasses if you can. The right glass will help maintain the flavors with ample strength to match the ultra-bold flavors of BBQ.
Two great wines we create here at Sokol Blosser that pair excellently with Summer BBQ are Evolution and Meditrina.
Pair Evolution with Cajun sausage jambalaya, grilled halibut with mango ginger sauce, fruit salad, chipotle BBQ chicken and anything off the grill.
Pair Meditrina with pulled pork sandwiches, gourmet grilled pizzas, rosemary BBQ chicken and anything off the grill.
Cheers!
