Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

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. The Bench Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Bench Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Lean, vibrant and delightful. Sourced primarily from Sangiacomo Amaral Ranch Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA. This is a wine with a lean, elegant structure and vibrant acidity, reminiscent of Burgundy.It complements rich sauces, roasted meats, and loves to be paired with poultry.
