Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Chicken Wings. 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. The Hindsight Wines Chardonnay with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

Hindsight Wines Chardonnay
Our 2018 Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards in Carneros and Oak Knoll. Fermented in stainless steel, then aged three months on the lees in neutral French oak, the wine shows great acidity, weight and mouth-feel. This 100% Chardonnay shows acidity normally reserved for stainless only wines. This is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
