Football party foods that pair well with dry Riesling include spicy Buffalo wings, fried foods like pigs in a blanket and salty cheeses, The wine's bright acidity and often subtle fruit notes complement the salty, fatty, and sometimes spicy nature of football party foods, offering a refreshing contrast for your guests.
Savory & Fatty Foods
• Buffalo Wings: The heat from the hot sauce is balanced by the dry Riesling's acidity, making a classic pairing.
• Fried Foods: Foods like pigs in a blanket, schnitzel, or even tempura work well because the wine's acidity can cut through the richness.
• Salty Cheeses: A dry Riesling is excellent with salty cheeses like Parmesan, aged Gouda, and some feta cheeses.
• Smoked Meats: Ham, sausage, and charcuterie are complemented by dry Riesling's ability to balance rich, salty flavors.
Snacks to Consider
• Pretzels: Salty pretzel rolls are a great vehicle for dipping in mustard alongside a glass of dry Riesling.
• Salt and Vinegar Chips: The vinegar notes in these chips can actually complement the wine's crisp acidity.
