Red · Medium · Dry

California's signature red — jammy, brambly, often 15% alcohol, with notes of blackberry, black pepper, and dried herb. Built for ribs and brisket.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken

American Zinfandel gives Lebanese Chicken a structured partner — fruit and tannin without aggression.

Red · Medium · Dry

Australia's signature red — dense, spice-driven, peppery, often pushing 15% alcohol. Barossa makes it brawniest; McLaren Vale, smokier; Hunter, leaner. Built for the grill.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken

Medium reds like Australian Shiraz hold up well to Lebanese Chicken, especially when roasted or grilled.

Barolo

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken

Barolo brings dark fruit and grip to Lebanese Chicken — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.

Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken Kabobs

Chardonnay matches chicken's mild richness — oaked for roast, unoaked for poached.

Grenache

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken Kabobs

Warm Grenache complements grilled lamb, kebabs, and spiced rice.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken Kabobs

Light red that flatters chicken without overwhelming — the all-purpose poultry pairing.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken Kabobs

Dry rosé is the workhorse for Lebanese mezze, shawarma, and hummus-and-flatbread spreads.

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Lebanese Chicken Kabobs

Crisp herbal white meets the parsley, mint, and lemon backbone of Middle Eastern cooking.
