What wines pair with BBQ?

When you’re working with bold, smoky flavors—like ribs, brisket, or burgers Cabernet Sauvignon or a rich blend, are classic. For Cabernet Sauvignon, a full body, rich notes of blackberry and oak, pairs beautifully with red meat and tangy BBQ sauce. For something extra special, try our personalized Cabernet Sauvignon, where you can design your own label or engraving.

Zinfandel is another standout. This fruit forward red with a touch of spice is perfect for pulled pork, BBQ chicken, or spicy sausages. Zinfandel’s bold personality holds its own against sticky sweet glazes and smokey flavors. Add a personal message or photo with our engraved Zinfandeloptions.

Grilling chicken, pork chops, or turkey burgers? Go for a dry Rose. Its crisp acidity and subtle fruitiness offer a refreshing contrast to grilled meats. It looks as good as it tastes. Customize a bottle of Rosé with a summer themed label to match your party vibe.

Unoaked Chardonnay is also a winner for citrus marinated chicken or grilled seafood. Clean, vibrant, and food friendly, it’s a versatile white that shines alongside milder proteins. Browse our custom Chardonnay selections to find the perfect match.

If grilled shrimp, corn, or veggie skewers are on your menu, reach for a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Its zesty citrus notes and herbal edge pair beautifully with fresh summer produce. Make your bottle stand out with a custom engraving.

For vegetarian options or grilled salmon, Pinot Noir is your best bet. Lighter bodied but full of character, it’s the ideal red for bridging meat and plant based dishes. Personalize a bottle for your next gathering or as a thoughtful host gift.
