Food and Wine
by tammy on January 27, 2007
I'm always amazed at how much attention the Super Bowl gets, and lately, that also includes lots of articles about wine and the big bowl. Here's yet another one I found that has some good suggestions in pairing wine and your food, especially when it comes to chips and dip.
From The Chicago Sun Times, who say that Chardonnay is pretty much the way to go:
The Wine Market Council, as it did last year, put together a list of wine pairings, so those of us who aren't sure what goes with nachos will be prepared.
"One of the best matches for anything with corn, such as chips or tortillas, is Chardonnay." There you go.
"Chardonnay also will complement creamy cheeses and counterpoint the salsa. In the red category, Zinfandel likewise accompanies spicy salsa, and Merlot can have a cooling effect. Consider drinking the reds slightly chilled."
No problem for those of you tailgating.
Serving chili? Pour Syrah or Rioja.
Sloppy joes call for Zinfandel, whereas vegetables and dip need "a fresh, zippy white like Sauvignon Blanc or an unoaked Chardonnay from New Zealand, Australia or the United States."
