We do lots of grilling in the summer. For nice cuts of meat we suggest fancier red Burgundies or Bordeaux — something complex to sit with and enjoy slowly. But for simpler fare — burgers, shish kabob, vegetables, chicken, steak tips, etc — we like reds that aren’t too complicated.
Below is a list of our favorite, grouped by pairing suggestion. We’ve also added a new grilling sampler with free East Coast shipping.
