Add a little class to bar food, with a non-vintage champagne paired with hot wings. There’s something so right about taking these two polar opposites and serving them up side by side. This is an unusual pairing that makes people scratch their heads at first, until they savor the first bite and sip. The creamy notes in the sparkling wine work in tandem with the blue cheese dressing to combat the heat of the wings. And the bubbles also offer a refreshing effect, cleansing the palate in between bites.  When you really think about paring beer and wings, this pairing makes great sense!  However, a little word of caution, if you like your wings extra hot, opt for an off-dry to sweeter Riesling or just grab that mug of beer!
