Shiraz/Syrah
The juiciness of a Syrah is an excellent complement to the yeast notes of pretzels or some mixed nuts and stands up well to the spice of that extra-large pepperoni pizza or the smokiness of those barbecued sliders.
Sauvignon Blanc
The crisp citrus notes of a Sauv Blanc stand up well to the lime in your favorite tortilla chips and guacamole. It’s also great for cutting the grease of a fried chicken.
Sparkling Wine
The effervescence in your favorite bottle of bubbly are perfect for cutting through richness and fat. Believe it or not, that makes sparkling wine the perfect complement for that family-sized bag of greasy, plain potato chips or buttery bowl of popcorn.
Pinot Noir
This lighter red makes for easy drinking and is the perfect pairing to any pork products you might have on your menu—pigs in blankets, anyone?
Chardonnay
Napa produces some outstanding Chardonnays, so don’t save them just for dinner! These round, medium wines will pair wonderfully with the decadence of mac and cheese or cheese dip.
