A Smokin' Good Fourth of July

Break out the grill, mix up the spice rubs and sauces, and open some barbecue-friendly wines

Posted: June 29, 2011  By Tim Fish

Memorial Day weekend is a blur in our house, with the end of school and other various craziness, so it's not until the Fourth of July that I really feel like I can kick back and do some serious cooking in the backyard. As I've tried to master various recipes and cuts of meat—whether it's baby-back ribs, chicken or beef brisket—I've experimented with different wines to drink with these slow-cooked creations.

The flavors of barbecue are intense: smoky and zesty, spicy, greasy and sweet. You might think you need a powerful wine for its equal but that's not necessarily the case. Sure, most hearty reds will do fine with those big flavors, but if you're going to the trouble of slowly grilling or smoking something for hours, why drink just any wine? Here are some suggestions for distinctive and lively barbecue-friendly reds and whites.
