Wine Pairings for Your 4th of July BBQ

Need to figure out what wines go with what barbecue food?

Fourth of July means fireworks, swimming pools and barbecues. You're in the grocery store and you're not sure what wines to pair with your hamburgers or hotdogs.

Check out some suggestions from.

Hot Dogs + Sparkling Wine

The bubbles and citrus help to cut the fattiness and compliment the saltiness.

Grilled Corn + Chardonnay

The citrus and mineral flavors and full body are the perfect complement to the sweet corn and salty butter.

Spicy Brats + Syrah

A full-bodied red with ripe fruit tones compliments the heat.

Burgers + Zinfandel

This rich and slightly peppery wine pairs well with smokey flavors, and even barbeque sauce.

It would be nice if the comments section had "Thumbs up / Thumbs down" like the PressRead More Democrat.
