"The ribs should be seasoned and chilled overnight before cooking. WHAT TO DRINK: Stick with Cabernet and try a selection. Two we love are the rich, ripe 2005 Blend No. 815 from Joel Gott(Sonoma, $17) and the 2004 Cabernet from Columbia Winery with black cherry flavors and a velvety texture(Washington, $15)...."
