Nachos can be paired with Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Riesling. 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. The Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 67 dollars per bottle.

Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir

Deep red color with a brick rim. Aromas are floral and fruit dominant consisting of raspberry and bing cherry with subtlehints of cedar, allspice and anise. The whole cluster element provides spiciness on the palate with smooth texture andhints of minerality that leads to an acid-driven lingering finish.
