It's America's birthday so pull out the barbeque, douse some briquettes and toss a match as you sip a big, juicy American wine. The 4th of July is the biggest outdoor grilling day of the year, but considering the recent weather, we picked a bottle that is delicious rain or shine.

The 2006 7 Deadly Zins is your liquid accompaniment to all things grilled. Not only does it have a catchy name, it also delivers in the flavor department. Raspberries slap your palate, followed by smoky, spicy, chocolaty, espresso-like flavors. This is one wine you wouldn't want to mess with.

Made from Zinfandel and partially blended with some Petit Verdot and Petit Sirah, all from California's Central Coast, this wine boasts an alcohol level of 14.5%, getting you toasty enough to party like the Founding Fathers would have wanted.

Drink liberally with BBQ'd salmon, grilled veggies, hamburgers and a sky filled with fireworks.
