There are two BIG football weekends on the horizon…AFC & NFC Championship games this Sunday and then the Superbowl two weeks later. What’s more Americana with football than having spicy chicken wings??

Most people get intimidated by the spice and heat of wings assuming it will crush any wine you serve with it and just “give up” and go to beer.

Jeremy and I here to tell you today, “Don’t give up”

There are a lot of delicious value oriented wines that will go perfectly with the spice & heat of wings. Each of these wines has enough of a burst of fruit and ripe acidity to handle the spice and leave you coming back for more.

Just look at these 4 delicious wines we are tasting in this segment:

Abbatucci Gris (Rose) Imperial 2011 {#364146}

Col Mesian Spumante Brut {#360172}

Cotes du Rhone Villages Visan Cercius Michel Gassier 2011 (92RR) {#361906}

Fetzer Crimson Red 2010 {#366213}

All 4 of these have proven to be delicious, value-driven wines that hold up PERFECTLY to spicy wings.

Any (or all) of these will work perfectly for your gatherings or parties.

I can safely say this now that all the NY Teams are out of it…GO PATRIOTS!!!
