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

Nachos works really well 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 Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry Champagne offers aromas of ripe apple complemented by hints of citrus. Toasty flavors complement the creamy, lingering finish. Best served chilled (36-40 °F), this bubbly is perfectly balanced with multiple layers of fruit to delight the palate.
