Medium, rare, well or “with a little moo” leftover: However you crave your summer barbecue, we’ve got the wine for you! From juicy light bodied reds to rich, robust blends that make your lips smack, Paso Robles Wine Country is your perfect barbecue companion. Red-y for a finger-licking good time? The coals are hot, the meat is on—and the wine? It is most certainly fine!
Burger better with Cass Winery
Casual chic: Order up a juicy estate-raised burger at Cass Winery and you’ll understand why our world class wine is so unique. Crafted with French DNA and Paso Robles personality, Cass Winery’s 2018 Backbone Syrah is as vivacious as it is versatile. An enticing nose of mesquite embers, savory spice and fruit leather—plus chewy tannins and traces of plum and bacon jam—make this wine a classic summer sip. Plus, just like our favorite BBQ shindigs, this one can be easily dressed up, down or sideways.
Fire it up with Bodega de Edgar
Crank the heat: Sip Bodega de Edgar’s 2019 Tempranillo as the sun sinks down behind Paso’s rolling hills and you’ll feel the magic of Paso’s hot summer nights. Cooking up something spicy in the backyard this evening? No barbecue cookout is complete without this savory Spanish varietal waiting in the wings. Imbued with a deeply fruity nose, medium tannins and irresistible French oak allure, this wine crackles right alongside the fire-pit.
Perfect your pairing with Chronic Cellars
Zippity doo dah: When it comes to ribs slathered in tangy barbecue sauce, nothing zings like zinfandel. Chronic Cellars knows this to be true—just try their 2020 El Perfecto, 46 percent zinfandel, 41 percent tempranillo, 13 percent petite sirah and all delicious. Notes of leather, spice and sandalwood tempt the nose while juicy blueberry, dried currants and goji berry seduce the senses. Trust us: it’s a total crowd-pleaser. Better break out that roll of paper towels!
Aim to impress with Seven Oxen Estate Wines
Show ’em you mean business: Whether you consider yourself a master griller or a total newbie, you’re sure to impress with Seven Oxen’s 100% 2017 Tannat. Produced from dry-farmed fruit, your guests will savor soft, ripe tannins and beautiful black fruit aromas enhanced by bright acidity. The result? A sophisticated yet approachable backyard bottle that elevates the meal with licorice, black currant, blackberry and wet stone. Impressive!
Make memories with Stilson Cellars
Now and later: Summer in Paso is all about clear, starry skies and darn good times. When your favorite people gather to mark the occasion, uncork a true time-capsule in the making. Enter: Stilson Cellars 2019 Mourvedre, an age-worthy red with oodles of charm to spare. Baked blackberry, bramble berry, smoked sagebrush and wild iris enchant the nose while charcoal embers, black raspberry and grilled blueberry play out on the palate. They’ll be talking about this one for many, many summers to come!
