Zinfandel BBQ Sauce

by Shawn Stanchfield

A bold, tangy barbecue sauce that combines Bargetto Zinfandel with honey, ketchup, cider vinegar, garlic, fresh cilantro, and a lively blend of herbs and spices. Easy to prepare and even better after a few days of resting, this flavorful sauce brings a sweet, spicy, wine-infused finish to grilled meats and vegetables.
