Wine Fact Of The Month

Why Does Sparkling Wine Taste So Good with Fried Food?

It isn't just the bubbles.

Sparkling wines combine bright acidity with carbonation, two things that help cleanse your palate after each bite. That's why they pair so beautifully with everything from fried calamari and tempura to potato chips and fried chicken.

 It's also why I so often begin dinners with bubbles. They wake up both the palate and the conversation.
