The rich rib meat and peppery sauce goes great with a nice full California Zinfandel. This recipe works well smoked or in the slow cooker.
This recipe takes 2 days so plan ahead. In this recipe we use both a smoker and a slow cooker. If you want to use only one method, I prefer the slow cooker. The wine adds a nice richness.
Notes
The marinade time is variable depending on your schedule, so it could take 30+ hours total time for this recipe.
