not true... pizza pairs very well with tannic and high acidity wines usually found in italians.

a nice brunello or barberesco would pair very well with pizza.

burgers tho .... for me personally ... beer.. preferably a crisp lager. I feel wine is too acidic for me to pair with a burger.

Ugh, Boris! I wish you informed Mario Batali and Michel Richard of this before they created the wine lists for their restaurants!

While some may prefer beer or soda with burgers and pizza, I think most would agree that one can fairly easily pair plenty of wines with each.

I like my burgers with sauteed mushroom and onion and melted gorgonzola cheese. When I grill out in the summer I like a nice domestic zin.

Someone may have said this already but whatever you do don't press the burger and squeeze all the liquid out. That and salt and pepper go along way. Ca Cab for my wine choice.

Pair with a CA Cab.

ANY burger though?

LEAN, trimmed leg of lamb, ground and made into patties with just some smashed garlic or galric powder, rosemary, mint, and freshly ground pepper. Grilled to medium rare and topped with a fresh chevre and grilled red onions. Works with any well structured Spanish red. Also with northern Rhones.

Domestic Zin? Confused

As opposed to a primitivo, I guess.

I was thinking in terms of domestic as Ridge, Rosenblum, Seghesio, Hartford, and other zinfandels I enjoy from california. Zinfandel is our native grape here in america ie california but I'm sure there is some scientist that will say it's a clone or a cross from some other grape varietal origionally grown somewhere else in the world.

I'm a food nut/chef wannabe like the rest of you but you know my all-time favorite burger still has to be the diner-style fried beef burger on a cheap bun with a Kraft single, ketchup, mustard, relish and some fried onions. And a cold Coke. Toast the bun a little bit too. Eaten, preferably in a real diner or truck stop. Classic American cuisine.

IMHO, a burger should only be consumed with beer - as well as pizza and Mexican food.

Start by opening an ice-cold Heineken...

Mix the following together in a bowl:

1 LB. Ground Beef
1 TBSP. Ground Cumin
2 TBSP. Crushed Garlic

(open another Heineken at this point)

Grill 5-6 minutes per side - over med-high heat - add sliced blue cheese on the final 1-2 minutes of grill time.

(more Heineken)

Top off with lettuce, red onion, and tomato.

(still more Heineken)

ENJOY!

Nothing like a Burger and a great Zinfandel. Murphy Goode Snake Eyes (my fav) or Liar's Dice (under $20) Zinfandel and a burger (make sure you get fatty meat not the extra lean, mix in rosemary, larry's seasoning, bread crumbs, salt, pepper...meld it together and then throw on some aged cheddar with grilled onions, honey mustard and an onion bun(YUM!)

I bought a chuck roast on sale with a nice amount of fat in it, and used my new Kichen Aid Meat Grinder attachment. Gound it twice and added onion, celery parsley and sage in the ground meat and pan grilled in on the stove top. The meat was so fresh and sipped a bit of 2006 Cocodrillo Vina Cobos Cab. It is an Argentina Cab that is juicy!
