The Backyard Six (12 bottles)

Six wines (2 bottles each) chosen because they belong next to a grill. Two whites, one Pinot Noir, and three bold reds, two of each, that cover the full arc of a summer gathering. This is not a sampler. It's a host's kit, built around the idea that the wine you bring to a backyard barbecue should be as considered as the food you put on it. See our host's pairing guide
