Vintage 2015|
Premium SelectionBurger on the menu? Try pairing with Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. You could try Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Forty Licks Merlot Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
