| i'm not sure what to pair with this, but since we had a big ham bone to dispose of, katy decided to make a big pot of beans  . when mom made this meal growing up it was always iced tea. i have about a glass of the '00 henry's drive cab left from last night so i'll have that at least. | | |

| An Aussie shiraz would work well. We like the Rosemount GSM for everyday drinking like this. You MUST be from Texas.  My mom makes great pinto beans. Yum. | | | |

| I was just thinking a Shiraz or a Shiraz/Mourvedre/Grenache blend. Oh, and some Bean-O.  | | | |

| I would "pass" on the Bean-O. Isn't the aftermath half the fun?

| brent, now i'm hungry! i believe lilac is right on in both the last post & her original post on this thread. i'd lean more towards the blend though & hope for some earthy nuances with the pintos  , but if you can get it, shiner bock would pair very well   . | | | |

| AUSSIE SHIRAZ. I'd even go so far to say Marquis Phillips.
Here's another drink suggestion that I like with Pinto Beans and Cornbread- ICE TEA! | | | |

| I'm with PURPLE TJ. PRESWEETENED is the way to go. Adding sugar after the facts sucks. Might as well drink it without the sugar. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |
