Honestly I'm not even much of a wine drinker, but I couldn't help but be but fascinated by like this list. Here's what to drink with your grilled food this weekend:
⁰ When it comes to a grilled steak, nothing pairs better than a red wine such as cabernet sauvignon.
⁰ Fattier cuts such as New York strip and ribeye pair best with robust red wines that have high tannin like a shiraz or Bordeaux.
⁰ For leaner cuts like sirloin, try a lighter red wine such as a pinot noir.
⁰ A steak that is more charred will be more bitter, so consider serving a fruit-forward red wine such as grenache or sangiovese to balance the taste.
⁰ White wines and roses are the perfect match for grilled chicken.
⁰ Spicy marinades — especially those that incorporate chiles — pair well with reisling.
⁰ For Middle Eastern- and Indian-style marinades, try chenin blanc or a Gewürztraminer wine.
⁰ Herbed marinades pair well with a light sauvignon blanc, while Asian-style sauces can be served with a sweet Moscato.
⁰ A medium-bodied red wine such as merlot is a great choice for any burger.
⁰ A classic cheeseburger with cheddar pairs well with Rioja or Chianti.
⁰ Add a stronger cheese such as Gruyere or Asiago to the burger and pair with zinfandel.
pork pairs best with white wines such as sauvignon blanc as well as light reds such as pinot noir.
⁰ For barbecue ribs, a bold red wine — Barolo or Bordeaux, for example — creates a perfect pairing.
⁰ Fattier fish such as trout or tuna pair well with a buttery chardonnay or white Burgundy. Grilled salmon pairs best with lighter-bodied wines such as pinot noir or Beaujolais, while grilled white fish is best served with crisp white wines such as chenin blanc or pinot grigio.
