Football season is upon its fans, some of who happen to also enjoy wine better than the more traditional beer when watching the game. But a lot of tailgating and game day food can be a challenge to pair with wine. Since it is a rare football fan that doesn’t like buffalo wings or chips it makes more sense to think of a wine that goes with them to forgo the tempting snacks for a favorite drink. Pick the snack that has the most appeal and try the corresponding wine, they are some great matches out there.
Fans of both mild buffalo wings and nachos should try chardonnay. Not only does it compliment the chicken but it can cut through the cheese of nachos. For potato chip fans a slightly dry red of any kind cleans the mouth nicely, leaving no greasy chip aftertaste. Of course there is always the option of breaking open the champagne even before the home team has won, call it wishful thinking or simply champagne pairs great with almost anything. But a real easy way to keep football wine fans happy is just to fill the glasses and cheese board sets.
