What wine goes with smoked brisket?

hmm.... IMO, a bit over the top for this thread

No sense of humor eh! Grab a glass of bourbon then. It will help.

 

[schlotz]

It's not the humor part, it's the disrespect displayed by the individual in the video. And yes, bourbon always goes good with brisket :p

The very best wine with brisket is the one shared with friends.

Don't forget hard seltzer. Totally hip right now.

Need to go a little Fancy? A great Red that has something for everyone...Col di Sasso. An Italian import, a blend of Cab Sauvignon and Sangiovese. This red is dry but not acidic. There are light Tannins and Tons of Dark Fruit. This was the biggest seller in the restaurants I worked...
Just the family at a Picnic. Peter Vella Delicious Red and Delicious White! Under $15 a 5L Box, light, very fruity, sweet enough for Newbies but too sweet for general enjoyment. Then my Never Fail Recipe...

Smokin' Great SANGRIA!

In a Pitcher large enough to hold a Gallon plus Fruit, combine...
1C Brandy or more...cheapo E&J, Christian Bros.
1C Triple Sec...orange liqueur.
2C Apple Juice or Cider
2C Orange Juice...Fresh or Simply Orange
1-2 Sliced Oranges...Lemons and Limes, Optional.
1-2 Diced Apples
2 1/2Qt Red Wine...Vella Delicious Red or Riunite Lambrusco is my fav.

*NOTE* You will use most of the 3 Liter Bottle. Or if you have room, dump it all!

Additionally, if you choose a really Dry Red Wine, you may need to add a bit of Sugar. The Lambrusco is on the sweet side so no additional sugar is needed.
Mix well and CHILL WELL...I stick it in the Freezer for an hour or more.
"CAUTION" This goes down smooth and will kick your BUTT!

DRINK RESPONSIBLY....Please!?!

Enjoy...JJ

Franzia sells a pretty good size box. Can get them all buzzed for $13.99

LOL.... I see what you are doing, Playing the "in-law" card there.

 

[foamheart]

What's the word........ ?? Whats the price.......?? I say Madog? Ripple?

 

[patinlouisiana]

Do they still make Strawberry Hill? That's a red isn't it?

 

[patinlouisiana]

I have a feeling some of my sisters in law and brother in law's wives might not want cold beer Saturday.

I know nothing about wine! This was on sale and I figuered anything the involved bourbon had to be ok!

BBA everything is very "in" right now :-)

I’d suggest the little something hazy limited release from Lagunitas. Super good and the women will like this beer. So will you. Everyone will have fun. Plenty of tannins (or some great thing) to cut through the fat. LOL. Or go with the JD, a splash of the JD red (hot cinnamon), ice to the rim and a splash of coke. They will love that too.

If beer / JD are out I’d go find a few bottles of Sangiovese. It’s a winner. Hard to find. Chill it and Pour it over clean clear ice if it’s really hot. Make your own ice cubes while your at it. It’s all inappropriate for vino, but who cares? You’re drinking wine with brisket.

I was going with the other option: Miller High Life. The Champagne of Beers

Miller lite.

With brisket, I really love a nice sherry that has soaked into charred oak before it was extracted over a couple of years by a sweet, smokey scotch. One ice cube really opens the sherry nicely.

I drank orange MIO flavored water.
