Wine Tasting: Wines to Pair with Barbecue

Wines for Barbecue.....

For most Americans a backyard cookout means it’s beer time. But a glass of wine can be the perfect accompaniment to all sorts of barbecue fare. It’s not so filling as beer... nor so potentially embarrassing as multiple margaritas! We've got a variety of wines, from a dry, fragrant rosé to a rich tempranillo, to pair with every type of barbecue. Whether you prefer your meats and veggies grilled, smoked, or in a spicy marinade, a selection from our list will surely compliment your favorite dish.

Join us this Holiday weekend as we taste some of our staff favorites that pair exceedingly well with barbecue.... Gourmet cheeses will be served.

Friday 4 - 7pm.....

2010 Bodegas La Cana Albarino, Rias Baixas, Spain
This ultra-juicy white offers style and sophistication with intense fruit flavors and layers of complexity. Aromas of Meyer lemon and ripe pear are followed by sweet flavors of white peach and pineapple. Well balanced with refined acidity and hints of brown spice, finishing on a crisp, dry note. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with all manners of seafood - especially those prepared with garlic, and is rich enough to stand up to spicy grilled chicken or pork.

2011 Les Quatre Tours Rose, “Esprit Sud”, Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, France

2006 Tempranillo “Munia” Toro, Spain
Offering dynamic, perfumed black cherry fruit, balanced by rich earthy, chocolatey notes, silky texture, ripe tannins and a huge, aromatic finish – this wine can handle a wide variety of red meats - smoked or grilled, spicy barbecue sauces and bold marinades.
