Slow roasted to perfection, this tender, flavorful dish pairs beautifully with a rich red wine like the Banshee Mordecai Red Blend. The brisket’s smoky, tangy barbecue notes harmonize with the wine’s layers of dark fruit, subtle spice, and velvety tannins, creating a balanced and satisfying pairing. Serve with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables to round out the meal—a perfect way to gather and savor together.
