- kah - 07-20-2005 Hi, we are having our firm picnic and having a roasted pig done along w/ burgers and dogs. Any suggestions on what type of wine to serve. Thank you. - hotwine - 07-20-2005 Welcome to the board, Kah. For the burgers & dogs, I'd normally prefer a Rhone-style red, esp. a Syrah. But for the pork, would go with a Pinot Noir, esp. a cheap one from Sam's Club or Costco, something in the $10 range. The Pinot Noir would adequately cover all the bases for that mixture. - dananne - 07-20-2005 Agree with the above. You could also consider a Beaujolais. Served slightly chilled, it's a nice "outdoors in the summer" wine, and it's versatile enough to go with a wide variety of picnic dishes. Welcome to the board! - robr - 07-20-2005 A nice $10 Chianti would also go well. |
