It’s barbecue season and while beer is largely the beverage of choice, the challenge comes in finding a wine to serve that not only beats the heat, but pairs well with typical barbecue fare, too.

Mark Oldman is known as a wine “everyman,” taking the complex terms away and making wine conversations easy to understand. His first book, Oldman’s Guide to Outstanding Wine, was released in 2004.
White Wine Recommendation: Try a Torrontes from Argentina, Oldman suggests. “It smells a little sweet but it’s as dry as a bone so it has that great duality.”
Red Wine Recommendation: To compliment your barbequed meats, opt for a Carménère from Chile. Its berry fruits and smooth, full body will highlight the flavor of any food.
