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. One wine you could try is Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Pinot Noir Reserva. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Pinot Noir Reserva

Pale cherry red with a ruby tint. The nose is very complex and fresh with intense, forward fruit on cherry and raspberry mingles with gentle toasted almond notes. The wine has a very good attack, elegant and succulent tannins. Fruit flavors on the mid-palate, especially cherry, while the elegant finish combines the fullness of fresh fruit with the refinement of the Casablanca terroir.Pairs well with goat cheese, sole in lemon butter, or carpaccio of scallops.
