Super Bowl Wines

Having a Super Bowl party? I know, I know, beer is generally the drink of choice for NFL fans, but that doesn't mean you can't have some good vino on hand as well. People appreciate variety, and offering some nice wine to compliment your party snacks might be just the thing to make your party stand out from the ba-zillion others that will be thrown this Sunday.

The Kansas City Star has a great article offering suggestions on what to serve guests on Super Bowl Sunday. The author makes a good point that what you serve should depend on what your eating . . . but there is definitely a few good starting-off points to help with the selection.

Follow the link for the entire text, but here's a few suggestions from the article to get you started:

"Considering the teams in the big game, a good choice might be Bonny Doon’s Cardinal Zin, which runs to about $18 a bottle. If you think that might be on the pricey side, any good zin should work. Ravenwood’s offerings are consistent but ask your wine merchant for a suggestion in the price range you feel comfortable paying.If you want something a little different, I think a really good go-to wine with plenty of soul and the ability to hold up to substantial foods is Paul Jaboulet Aine Cotes Du Rhone Parallele 45, which you would be able to find for $11 a bottle, or less."
