国庆日烧烤Costco选酒清单
國慶日(July 4th)燒烤的葡萄酒選擇，這樣搭最對味！
國慶日(July 4th)的烤肉香氣，是美國夏天最溫暖的味道。後院的火爐升起、朋友圍坐、炭火咝咝作響，這時候，一瓶選得剛剛好的葡萄酒，不只讓食物更好吃，也讓每個人的笑容多了一點餘韻。
最近我在 Costco 採購時，特地挑了一些既實用又好喝的葡萄酒。這些酒不但搭餐表現出色，價格也親切，無論是老酒友或新手朋友都能輕鬆駕馭。以下是我親試過的七款酒，分享給準備要辦 BBQ 派對的你：
Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Napa Valley｜$84.99
這支來自 Napa 的經典紅酒，結構扎實、香氣層次豐富，有黑醋栗、可可和橡木香。搭配厚切牛排、羊排、肋眼這類油脂豐富的紅肉，完美無懈可擊。
Sabina Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 – Montagna Hill｜$89.99
這瓶比起 Far Niente 來得更溫潤柔順，果味香甜、有一點香草和淡淡香料感，很適合搭配 BBQ 醬肋排、漢堡或甜口烤雞翅。不愛單寧太強的朋友，一定會喜歡這款。
Vultour Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 – Rutherford｜$34.99｜Decanter 95分
這瓶酒不只包裝吸睛，酒質也很討喜。黑櫻桃、雪松與甘草的香氣平衡集中。搭配韓式烤豬五花或辣牛肉塔可都很適合，也很適合當作派對的開場酒或「推薦給朋友的那一瓶」。
Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2021 – Pessac-Léognan｜$31.99
這支來自法國波爾多的白酒，有漂亮的葡萄柚、檸檬皮和白花香，清爽但有骨幹，適合搭配鮮蝦串、檸檬烤雞或香煎鮭魚。如果你的派對有白肉或海鮮菜色，它會是很加分的一瓶。
Chimney Rock Elevage Blanc 2023 – Napa Valley｜$38.99
果味濃郁，專門為喜歡果香味的你們：熟成白桃、木瓜香氣撲鼻，還帶著一點柔和的奶油氣息。雖然濃郁，但酸度抓得剛剛好，讓整體口感圓潤不膩。搭配香草烤玉米、奶油醬海鮮或辣味雞肉料理特別合拍。
Gianncechini Red Blend 2019 – Mendocino County｜$24.89
這支混釀紅酒是派對中的「萬用選手」，紅莓與薄荷香氣活潑，口感柔和，適合搭配披薩、烤香腸、烤蔬菜，是那種大家喝一口就說「欸這好喝」的類型。
Torrevento Passione Reale Appassimento – Italy｜$14.99
使用風乾葡萄釀製，味道濃縮、圓潤滑順，有李子乾、香草與可可香氣。搭配蜜汁肋排或焦糖洋蔥牛肉堡超適合，也非常適合新手或平常不喝太多酒的朋友。
Libby 小提醒｜這樣搭最剛好：
家庭聚會（4-6人）建議紅2白1；有海鮮、雞肉就帶 Château Carbonnieux；不知道怎麼挑就選 Gianncechini 或 Vultour，安全又有記憶點；想讓女生朋友開心？Chimney Rock 是安全牌；偏甜口味者，一定要準備 Torrevento！
不管你是打算辦個輕鬆的後院 BBQ，還是準備盛大慶祝，這些酒都是我願意親自端上桌、也推薦給朋友的好選擇。歡迎試試看，讓你的國慶派對，不只是好吃，更有品味。
Perfect Wine Picks for Your Independence Day BBQ
The aroma of barbecue on Independence Day is the warmest scent of summer in America. When the backyard grill is fired up, friends gather around, and the charcoal sizzles, the right bottle of wine doesn’t just make the food taste better—it makes every smile linger a little longer.
On a recent trip to Costco, I handpicked a few wines that are not only delicious and food-friendly but also fairly priced and easy to enjoy for wine lovers and beginners alike. Here are seven bottles I’ve personally tried and recommend for your next BBQ party:
Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Napa Valley｜$84.99
A classic Napa Cab with solid structure and layered aromas of blackcurrant, cocoa, and oak. Perfect with thick-cut steaks, lamb chops, or a juicy ribeye—rich, flavorful meats that match its bold character.
Sabina Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 – Montagna Hill｜$89.99
Softer and smoother than Far Niente, this one leans into ripe fruit sweetness with hints of vanilla and subtle spice. Great with BBQ ribs, burgers, or sweet glazed chicken wings. If you prefer less tannin, you’ll love this bottle.
Vultour Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 – Rutherford｜$34.99｜Decanter 95 pts
Not only does this wine look good on the table, but it’s also crowd-pleasing in the glass. Expect balanced black cherry, cedar, and licorice notes. Pairs well with Korean grilled pork belly or spicy beef tacos—also an ideal “starter wine” to share with guests.
Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2021 – Pessac-Léognan｜$31.99
A crisp yet structured white from Bordeaux with lovely grapefruit, lemon peel, and white flower notes. Great with shrimp skewers, lemon-roasted chicken, or seared salmon. If your BBQ menu includes white meats or seafood, this is a standout choice.
Chimney Rock Elevage Blanc 2023 – Napa Valley｜$38.99
For those who love expressive fruit flavors—ripe white peach, papaya, and a touch of creamy softness. Rich yet balanced by just the right acidity, making it round and refreshing. Pairs beautifully with herb-grilled corn, creamy seafood dishes, or spicy chicken.
Gianncechini Red Blend 2019 – Mendocino County｜$24.89
This red blend is the “go-to player” at any party. Bright red berry and mint aromas with a smooth, easygoing palate. Perfect with pizza, grilled sausages, or roasted veggies—the kind of bottle everyone tries and says, “Hey, that’s good!”
Torrevento Passione Reale Appassimento – Italy｜$14.99
Made with semi-dried grapes for a concentrated, silky taste with notes of dried plums, vanilla, and cocoa. Perfect with honey-glazed ribs or a caramelized onion beef burger. Also an excellent pick for sweet wine lovers or guests new to wine.
Libby’s Tip｜How to Pair Them Just Right:
For a small family gathering (4–6 people), go with 2 reds and 1 white. Serving seafood or chicken? Bring the Château Carbonnieux. Not sure what to choose? Pick Gianncechini or Vultour—safe, memorable picks. Want to make the ladies happy? Chimney Rock is a safe bet. Hosting guests who prefer something a bit sweet? Torrevento is a must.
Whether you’re planning a laid-back backyard BBQ or a big Independence Day bash, these are bottles I’d happily serve myself—and recommend to friends. Give them a try and make your July 4th party not just delicious, but a little more refined.
