Of course with everything from pizza to prawns to steaks to smores cooked on the 'cue, there is no one single style of BBQ wine to match. We've come up with a few reds that will suit most options however. They can match a multitude of foods, are local, not pricy (all under $25), can be slightly chilled down, yet carry enough weight and punch to match grilled foods. So stock up on your burgers, kabobs, chops and steaks, plus a mixed case of these, and hope for the the sunshine.
Treve Ring & Anthony Gismondi
Every week Treve Ring and Anthony Gismondi collaborate on our Top Ten list, released on Thursday morning, often with a timely theme. If you count carefully the list will more than likely exceed ten names but only because we believe if any wine is tied by a score that makes our list it should be included. We know many of you are wine savvy and can do your own sleuthing to locate our weekly picks but for those who asked: BCLS means it is sold in government retail stores; when we say private wine shops we mean it could be in any private wine shop or liquor retail store (LRS); winery direct means check with the winery online. If it’s not sold in BC we usually try and give you a suggested retail price. Prices change hourly in BC – the price we post is what we are given at publication.
