PAIRING
YOUR BURGER WITH THE RIGHT WINE
It’s no real surprise
that hamburgers are at the top of the list
as America’s most popular grilled
food, according to the 2004 Weber® GrillWatch™
survey. Especially this time of year when
the grills are cooking overtime. And, nothing
goes with summer better than a grilled burger
and the right glass of wine. So, whether
you're into bold flavors or basic toppings,
top off your burger with a glass of wine.
Here are some suggestions for the right
wine to go with your burger topping du jour.
Basic Cheese Burger –
Merlot
Grilled pineapple – Fruity
Chardonnay (white) or Beaujolais (red)
Grilled white onions and mushrooms
with Swiss cheese – Sangiovese
(or Chianti)
Pickles (or relish) and mustard
– White Zinfandel
Offering a soft and fruity balance to these
piquant flavors
Lettuce, tomato, raw red onion,
ketchup and mayonnaise –
Syrah (or Shiraz)
Chili Cheese Burger –
Zinfandel (red)
This spicy character matches well with the
spiciness of the chili
Black pepper, gorgonzola and hot
mustard – Cabernet Sauvignon
Avocado, cucumber and sprouts
– Sauvignon Blanc (white) or Pinot
Noir(red)
