Recommended wine: Lambrusco, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

Macaroni and Cheese works really well with Lambrusco, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc. With rich, cheesy mac & cheese you'll want to cleanse the palate with something crisp and acidic. We recommend Chenin Blanc, Riesling, or dry Lambrusco if you're in the mood for a red. The PRONTO Lambrusco Secco with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

PRONTO Lambrusco Secco

Crimson purple color. Aromas are rich with purple iris, clove and licorice. Medium-bodied, dry (secco), excellent concentration, rich finish, abundant fruit, dry. This wine offers complexity and richness on the palate.
