Red · Medium · Dry

The cooler-climate sibling of Cabernet Sauvignon — leaner, more aromatic, with notes of bell pepper, raspberry, and graphite. The Loire's Chinon and Bourgueil do it best.

Why it works with Corned Beef Brisket

The friendly middle ground for Corned Beef Brisket: Cabernet Franc's balance lets the meat lead.

Red · Full · Dry

California's misnamed powerhouse (no relation to Syrah) — inky, tannic, with notes of blueberry and black pepper. Built for the heaviest dishes on your table.

Why it works with Corned Beef Brisket

Petite Sirah brings bones to Corned Beef Brisket's flesh — tannin, oak, and dark fruit framing the meat's richness.

Pinot Gris

Adventurous

White · Medium · Off-dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Corned Beef Brisket

Pinot Gris's body and acid balance Corned Beef Brisket's flavor profile.

Pinot Noir

Interesting

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.

Red Wine

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

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.

Why it works with Corned Beef Brisket

Lighter than a Cabernet, Red Wine still has the weight to match Corned Beef Brisket's body.

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
