It's no secret that I love outdoor cooking. But what wines should you be drinking?
1. G.S.M
Blends of Syrah (Shiraz), Grenache (Garnacha) & Mourvedra (Monastrell). Looking in France (Cote du Rhone, Languedoc), Spain, Australia or S Africa.
Shiraz / Mataro, Heilan Coo, Victoria, Australia
Apostrophe Red', Larry Cherubino, Great Southern, Australia
Oscar' Rouge, Domaine de la Dourbie, Languedoc, France
2. Malbec
Don't just think of Argentina here. France is the home of Malbec and the South West offers some great wines for rich, smokey dishes.
Malbec '1300', Andeluna, Uco Valley, Argentina MAGNUM
'Raices Limited Edition' Malbec, Andeluna, Uco Valley, Argentina
Picpus', Malbec / Syrah, Les Vignobles St Didier Parnac, Comté Tolosan, France
3. Nero d'Avola
This Sicilian superstar variety is juicy and great for contrasting the intense smokey notes that Barbecuing adds.
