White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient are great choices for Chicken Nuggets. White meat is typically paired with white wine as to not overpower the flavor of the meat, so chardonnay and sauvignon blanc are safe choices. Chicken prepared with a tomato sauce or certainly a red wine sauce can and should be served with a red like a pinot noir. You could try Charles de Cazanove Tete de Cuvee Brut.

The fine bubbles form a large string against a golden background. A fruity nose and delicious, persistent barley sugar and brioche flavors. A very lively wine that is very versatile. This is a bright, easygoing Champagne for any party!This champagne pairs well with shellfish, pork dishes, mild and soft cheeses, and rich fish.Blend: 10% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, 60% Pinot Noir
