Super Bowl Wine?

We are again at Super Bowl time. This year's game will make or break a teams history and, according to the stats of the game, be the first time these two teams have ever faced off at the Super Bowl.

So get the menu planned, set the scene and lets talk wines for the foods, or at least some of them. There are as many foods for the game as people cooking.

Here's what Coach Clyde recommends for a winning team:

Pretzels - Chips - Popcorn & Dips = Sparkling Wines & Riesling

BBQ - Grilled Meats - Burgers & Garlic Bread = Cabernet, Malbec & Tempranillo

Potato Salad - Coleslaw - Bean Salad - Pasta Salad - Wedges & Other Salads = Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc & Viognier

Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes = Sauvignon Blanc & Riesling

Chili & other Spicy Foods = Tempranillo, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Chardonnay & Viognier

Subs and other Sandwiches = Merlot, Rhone, Gruner Veltliner & Pinot Grigio

So which ever you choose to cook remember to come and see us for other helpful advice for some items we may have missed.

Go Team!
