Summer is here, the grill is fired up, and itās time to pour the perfect glass. Whether you're smoking ribs, grilling veggies, or serving up some lemon-herb chicken, the right wine can take your BBQ to the next level. Below are three summer-friendly wines and the BBQ dishes they were practically made for.
š· Whispering Angel RosĆ©
Pairs Best With: Grilled shrimp skewers, BBQ chicken, grilled peaches
Light, crisp, and refreshingly dry, Whispering Angel is the quintessential summer rosĆ©. It pairs beautifully with lighter grilled fareālike shrimp skewers or BBQ chickenāthanks to its notes of strawberry, citrus, and a hint of minerality. It also makes a surprisingly elegant match for grilled peaches or fruit-based glazes, balancing sweet and smoky flavors without overpowering them.
š· Josh Cellars Chardonnay
Pairs Best With: Grilled corn, BBQ ribs, buttery lobster tails
This rich and creamy Chardonnay with notes of vanilla and oak stands up well to bold BBQ dishes. Pair it with tender ribs coated in a sweet and tangy sauce, or even a buttery lobster tail hot off the grill. The wineās round body complements the richness of grilled corn slathered in herb butter, offering a smooth, crowd-pleasing sip between bites.
š· Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Pairs Best With: Grilled veggies, lemon-herb chicken, cedar plank salmon
Zesty and bright with citrus and tropical fruit notes, this New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc cuts through charred, smoky flavors with ease. Itās an ideal companion for lemon-herb grilled chicken or cedar plank salmon. Youāll also love it with grilled veggies like zucchini or asparagusāthe wine's acidity lifts the dish and refreshes your palate.
