Burgundy

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Pinot Noir

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Why it works with Beef Rib Roast

Surprising pairing: Pinot Noir's lift makes Beef Rib Roast feel less heavy. Serve slightly chilled.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.
