Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Riesling are great choices for Nachos. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. You could try Brooks Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 25 dollars per bottle.

Brooks Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

A beautiful perfumed nose of rich cherry jam, Thanksgiving cranberries with grated orange peel, morel mushrooms and black truffle. A wonderful high note of black tea, leather and potpourri. The wine is so luscious in the mouth, coating the palate with rich, dark cherry, warm raspberry, red currant and black plum. There is a wonderful earthiness of portabella mushrooms on the grill, roasted vegetables, bacon fat and smoked meats. This Pinotfinishes with ripe fruit, earth and complexity and a hint of tomato leaf and earthiness. Just delicious!
