Fun 4th of July Food and Wine Pairings to Try
Hot dogs and sparkling wine? Sure, give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Food and wine pairings don’t always include the classics such as cabernet sauvignon and steak. For fun try a sauvignon blanc with guacamole, or buttered popcorn with a buttery chardonnay.
Here we have some Fourth of July pairings from our friends at BevMo! which is having a sale.
