Game Day Wine Pairings

Feb 9, 2024

The hotly contested game between the 49ers and the Chiefs is this weekend. What better way to enhance the game day experience than with delicious wine? Check out our pairing ideas below.

1. Loaded Nacho Bar

Muscadet 

2. Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Try an off dry Vouvray

3. BBQ Pulled Pork Tacos

No better wine than Syrah for some meat!

4. Mini Meatball Subs

Meatballs.....Italian...... let's go with Sangiovese! But not Chianti Classico, try Sangiovese from anywhere else for this one.

5. Loaded Baked Potato Skins

Get any Chardonnay that you really enjoy, or try a Beaujolais Blanc.

6. Chili Cheese Dogs

These can get heavy after your 5th one. Syrah from Washington State is our pick.

7. Pizza Pinwheels

Chianti Classico without a doubt.

8. Mini Taco Cups

Tacos call for Modelo! But if you don't have Modelo, let's go with Vermentino from California. Bonus points if you find a tiny producer from the Sierra Foothills.
