Rosé
This Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe has a nice smoke level which we like to offset with a Rosé. We feel that the pork can be a little heavy for your average white wine, and a red wine can be a bit heavy and consume the flavors of the meat. I find a good ‘pink’ wine to be the perfect balance between red and white wines. Follow the link to our wine review site to find our favorite Rosé wines-LetsHaveWine.com
