Red · Medium · Dry

The friendly middle ground for Carne Asada: Red's balance lets the meat lead.

A catchall for red wine generally — covers everything from a $12 weeknight pour to first-growth Bordeaux. Match the bottle's weight to the food's weight and you'll rarely go wrong.

Pair Carne Asada Tacos with Ribera Del Duero when you want both wine and meal to push back equally.

Red · Full · Dry
Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.
Why it works with Carne Asada
Shiraz brings bones to Carne Asada's flesh — tannin, oak, and dark fruit framing the meat's richness.
White · Light · Dry
Veneto's everyday white — Garganega grape, light, almondy, citrus-finished. The good single-vineyard bottles drink like little Chablis.
Why it works with Carne Asada Tacos
Soave's bright acid lifts Carne Asada Tacos cleanly — the lean white strategy.
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.
Why it works with Carne Asada
Zinfandel's weight matches Carne Asada's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.
