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

Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Riesling are my top picks 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 ONEHOPE Reserve Pinot Noir Wine with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
