What to drink with streetfood

Burgers, chicken wings and nachos deserve to be enjoyed with a glass of something good. Here are some ideas from professional sommeliers

  • SPICY CHICKEN WINGS + GEWÜRZTRAMINER

    “The residual sugar in the wine will complement the spices used on the wings beautifully.”

    – Pearl Oliver, One&Only

  • PORK BURGER + CHARDONNAY OR SEMILLON

    “A citrusy, wooded, cool-climate Chardonnay or Semillon will cut through the richness of the pork and complement the guacamole, too.”
    – Athule Kamanga, independent sommelier

  • PREGO ROLL + ALBARINO

    “Garlic is one of the toughest ingredients to match as it can be overwhelming and kill the wine completely. The fresh citrus in Albarino will tame the garlic.”
    – Joseph Dhafana, La Colombe

  • BUNNY CHOW + RIESLING

     “The spices and heat of the food will certainly meet their match with the bold fruit of this fine grape.”
    – Aubrey Ngcungama, BLACC, Black Cellar Club co-founder

  • NACHOS + CHARDONNAY

    “The raw tomato in the salsa adds acid to the food. Break it down with a citrusy Chardonnay, which also works well with the guacamole and sour cream – Chardonnay always loves creaminess.”
    – Athule Kamanga, independent sommelier
