Would this be a Grizzly Liquor blog without showcasing Missoula businesses? Whether you’re a fan of BBQ, Brazilian, Mexican, or in need of a classic slice of pizza we have the pairing for you.
Notorious P.I.G + Merlot
Are you craving BBQ? How about the fusion of the best flavors, rubs, and sauces from Notorious P.I.G? When choosing your pick of either burnt ends, ribs, or pulled pork a full-flavored red will be the perfect accompaniment to this tasty BBQ. We suggest the Merlot from Bonterra Organic Vineyards. At $13.70 a bottle, this wine has aromas of black currant, black cherries, and a touch of wood smoke with flavors of plums, dark berries, toasty oak, and vanilla spice. Originated from California this flavorful wine would be a national favorite addition to the amazing flavors Notorious P.I.G has to offer.
Five on Black + Chardonnay
Regardless of your preference, chardonnay would be the perfect option if you are feeling Brazilian. Chicken and Chardonnay? You can’t beat it. We suggest A to Z Wineworks- Chardonnay Willamette Valley. Five on Black doesn’t lack flavor so why pick a bottle that does for $14.50 this bottle has citrus zest, green apple, lemongrass and bracing minerality. Don’t forget the Pao De Quiejo
The Empanada joint + Rosé
Looking for a delicious meal wrapped in dough? Consider the Argentine classic empanada from the Empanada Joint. Located on Main street these deliciously savory pastries go exceptionally well with a Tavel Rose. Our pick is Château de Trinquevedel – Tavel Rose for $20.95 with a blend of raspberry, and notes of little red batteries. This rosé has a complexity that is fine, fresh, fruity, and elegant.
Pizza + Beer
Hawaiian? Riesling. Margherita? Pinot G. Vegetarian? Chardonnay. BBQ Chicken? Pinot Noir. Meat Lover? Cabernet. Pepperoni? Sangiovese. If you are wanting Biga, Front Street, Bridge, or Pie Hole, Grizzly Liquor offers delicious pairings for any pizza you decide on.
