Tasty Ribs and Zin {Perfect Pairing}
Pork ribs and Zinfandel are one of summer’s best pairings – and an all-American one, since Zen is as close to a native grape as we have: While it traces its roots to Eastern Europe, no one in the world does Zin like California winemakers.
The black pepper in this rub picks up on the black-pepper notes in Zinfandel. The fruitiness of the wine and its juicy character cool the heat. The homemade sauce has been spiked with the wine to lock in the match.
This pairing is good for a dinner of two or for your next outdoor gathering.

Put pizza on the menu for dinner tonight, I’ve a great recipe for a mushroom and goat cheese pizza and I found the perfect wine to pair up with this tasty dish.
The Palacios Remondo Plácet is delicious with this pizza. It’s a Spanish white and like most Spanish whites oak plays a huge role here and it has aromas of spice and cinnamon apples. This wine has an earthy roundness that goes well with mushrooms and also pairs well with fish, veal and poultry.
