Forget the usual game-day beer. Riesling might just be the ultimate wine for football season.
Bright acidity, incredible freshness, and just enough fruit make it a natural with everything from wings and nachos to sliders, barbecue, and anything spicy.
Why we love it for Game Day:
🏈 Wings + Riesling That bright acidity cuts right through crispy, salty wings—and a touch of sweetness is magic with Buffalo or spicy sauces.
🌭 Brats + Riesling A classic pairing for a reason. Riesling's freshness balances rich sausage beautifully.
🌶️ Anything Spicy Nachos, jalapeños, hot chicken, chili... Riesling loves a little heat.
🍔 Burgers + Riesling Yes, really. Especially a dry, mineral Riesling with plenty of acidity.
PERRINE'S TIP
Don't assume Riesling means sweet. Riesling can range from bone-dry and mineral to beautifully fruity and off-dry. We've selected some of our favorites below for your next Game Day.
