Sterling Game Day Sips

It’s game day and no matter if your team made it to the field or not, it’s a chance to gather with friends and family and enjoy your favorite game day snacks with Sterling Vineyards wines. Not sure whether chardonnay goes better with nachos or pizza? Or if a cabernet sauvignon has a place on your game day table? (Hint: it does). We have you covered. Read on for your ultimate guide to crowd-pleasing game day indulgences paired with your favorite Sterling Vineyards wines.

Oak Knoll Chardonnay and White Chicken Chili

The Oak Knoll district is right at the mouth of the Napa Valley and is known for the type of classic, golden chardonnays that Napa is so well known for. This is the chardonnay lover’s chardonnay, with an ultra-creamy and round mouthfeel and robust notes of oak spice and vanilla. Its match on game day is another satisfying classic—white chicken chili. The creaminess of the chili rounds out the bright acidity in the wine and the combination of cream cheese and shredded cheese is indulgent without being overwhelming. Serve with cilantro, citrus wedges, and maybe even sliced jalapeno to create an even more dynamic flavor profile.

Blanc de Blancs and Coca-Cola Chicken Wings

There’s nothing like the pop of a cork to kick off the big game. Our Sparkling Blanc de Blancs is a good time in a bottle with just the right amount of fine bubbles and aromas of green apple, lemon citrus, and pear. The zippy acidity and balanced structure make it the perfect companion to something spicy, saucy, and a little different like Coca-Cola glazed chicken wings. The classic soda reduces down and combines with jalapeno chiles to create a dynamic flavor profile that just calls out for a sip of bubbles to cool it down.

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon and Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Our Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful and well-structured example of a Rutherford cabernet. Its inky, dark purple berry flavors yield to a smooth and juicy mid-palate that is finished off with hints of dark cocoa and coffee. Its balance and structure make it a well-suited pair to a hardy, meaty dish like a Philly cheesesteak. Have extra toppings like green onions, caramelized onions, and jalapenos on hand for guests to make the snack their own.

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Chorizo Nacho Dip

Creamy, velvety queso, spicy chorizo, and fresh cilantro come together to create the game-day dip of your dreams. This decadent dish is sure to be a favorite of the day, especially when paired with our crisp sauvignon blanc. The wine is full of ripe stone and fresh tropical fruit flavors and has a medium body that will stand up well to the richness of the dip. A light mineral character provides a nice contrast to the intense cheesy flavors. Serve the dip hot and sauvignon blanc chilled.
