Capped of a great weekend of Friends, Family, Football, & fun by Egging up some Baby Backs today.
What to pair up with Barbecue Ribs? How about a 2004 Rockpile Road Zinfandel. One of Dry Creek Valley's best.
Just the bare necessities.

How about a bud light? Looks good my friend

Your Falcons got the best of that high school team from Missouri with a worthless head coach, president, offensive coordinator, and quarterback. Congrats.
So what sauce did you put on the ribs? -
Basted with Kraft original, then served a side of SBR's mixed with a tad of vinegar.
-
I can't believe that you didn't try Todd's sauce.I was gonna do ribs today,but not enough time Oh well,I have something to look forward to
-
Amen to that! Great day of family, football, and barbecue on the eggs

Red Zin: Anything else constitutes abuse of a fine grape.

Mighty fine ribs there but whats the deal with the wine? :blink: Must be REAL EXPENSIVE cause there's not enough in that glass to swallow a dry cracker with!! :laugh:

Stanley, I agree.
Doug, I am saving Todd's sauce for a special occassion.
JD, yeah I drank about a dozen of those 1/4 glasses of wine, until the bottle was empty. My girlfriend was on her usual Mich Ultra. -
Wine Note:
I'm sure there are members here with more wine knowledge than I, but I thought I would share some information regarding quality wines.
First, you need not spend a fortune to get a really good bottle of wine. They can be had for as little as $10-$12. I typically spend $16-$25 for "drinkers" and $25-$45 for "collectibles". That doesnt mean all $16 bottles of wine are good, many are crap. A little research goes a long way.
Secondly, a wine doesnt have to be of great expense to be age worthy. This is what got me hooked.
Regarding the Zinfandel shown above, I paid $19 for this bottle 2 years ago. This particular wine carried a 92 point "Wine Spectator" score when released in 2006, and was one of the Top 100 wines of the year, a phoneomenal feat for a sub $20 bottle. I aged it at 55deg in the bottle for two years before uncorking it last night. It was very good in 2006, but last night, it drank like a $100 bottle. WOW!! This exact bottle is available now on www.wine-searcher.com for approx $30. What else is yielding a 40% increase in value in two years these days?
Yesterday evening was a VERY enjoyable wine experience for me. I have 2 of the Rockpile Zin's left in my humble collection. I hope to have the will power to resist opening another one anytime soon.
But when I do, I know the BGE's will be up to task.

Great pairing of foods. I would suggest that you use Todd's sauce on something along with that fantastic wine you wrote about. It's that damn good, IMVHO!
-
I may store the jar of sauce Todd game me in the Wine Cellar, alongside my best bottles of Bordeaux, awaiting the precise day to enjoy all it has to offer.

looks great ron
happy eggin

Good wine pick for sauce type !!!
You can always go with Primitivo(Italian for Zin), Shiraz;would go for an australian with ribs not a french northern Rhone-Croze Hermitage too $$$.
In French, Clos de la Coutale, Cahors
Italian; campofiorin Masi or... ok might as well go for it " Amarone-Masi"
Rockin native italian grapes "Salice salentino" appellation Taurino
MamreBrook Australia or Clancy's Australia(Peter Leehman)
California; Cardinal Zin or Delicato shiraz(---$) -
I have never had Amarone, but I have two bottles in waiting. Any other suggestions on a food to pair it with?

I would suggest very structured food with strong, spicy sauces, or complex powerful tastes.anchovies, blue cheese etc,at the end of meal.
For example you can't blast the palate with spicy chilies and hope to taste the subbtle differences of delicate fish taste after your mouth is burned.
The alcool power in an amarone but also the wine structured taste (being a ripasso), make this as a last of meal,if you have to drink other more subbtle or less powerful wines. Take your softer wine type first; beaujolais, chianti, pinot noir, gamay, and build up in strenght and structure as you move up in your service. The same with your food.
The only wine I would put after is either a supertoscan IGT or a port served with dattes stuffed with blue cheese. :P
enjoy!
