Zinfandel Food Pairings
Wondering what are the BEST Zinfandel food pairings?
I’ve got you covered with this handy guide!
Zinfandel is a great choice if you tend to enjoy sweeter red wines, rather than acidic and “dry” wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, which are heavy in tannins and other flavor compounds.
Zinfandel is great paired with spicy, zesty dishes like tacos, BBQ, and meaty pastas.
The sweetness will help counterbalance the spice, and clear your palate between each bite.
Bottles to try:
Many Zinfandels are made in California, with some of my particular favorites being from Turley and Rombauer.
The BEST Zinfandel food pairings:
- Brisket
- Short Ribs
- Cioppino
- Chili
- Beef Stew
- Pot Roast
- Pizza
- Broiled Lamb Chops
- Burgers
- Chicken
- Sweet Potato Tacos
- Pasta with Meat Sauce
- Black Beans
- Portobello Mushrooms
- Eggplant Parmesan
