Want a big juicy wine to pair with your barbecue? Zinfandel is a classic choice for your savory sweet spicy barbecue. ZAP, Zinfandel Advocates and Producers, are coming to town this weekend. Come taste from a wide assortment of Zinfandel wines and meet the wine makers this Sunday, July 15th at WINE WORLD.
Zinfandel can be a delicious choice, but that is far from your only choice when it comes to a great wine for your next BBQ. Geoff Schroeder, Wine World Sales Associate, is a master at the grill as well as a wine lover. In fact, Geoff is the the Grill Master for Big Boys BBQ! Geoff loves a good Zinfandel with his barbecue but he encourages us to try the Gifford Hirlinger State Line Red Blend.
A little off kilter but a great wine for barbecue
This Washington red blend consists of six varietals:
- Merlot
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Malbec
- Tinta Cao
- Tempranillo

Priced at only $13.99, the Gifford Hirlinger State Line Red has enough structure to stand up to pulled pork or a smokey beef brisket. Fruity yet with some spice, this great BBQ wine scored 91 points from the Wine Enthusiast.
