Super Bowl Sunday is a great excuse to break out the crunchy + hearty snacks our winter moods crave! Get ready for Super Bowl LVIII with these classic game day treats paired perfectly to Sip Better wine. (Yes, you can drink wine while watching football. It's allowed!)

NACHOS + MOCALI 'I PIAGGIONI' ROSSO TOSCANO (Tuscany, Italy)
Cheesy, crunchy, spicy, THE BEST. You gotta have nachos at your Super Bowl viewing party! Crunch away with a glass of this rustic Tuscan red full of juicy blackberry and cherry notes and tinge of pepper

PIZZA AND WINGS + LUIGI GIORDANO BARBERA D'ALBA (Piedmont, Italy)
Pizza and chicken wings might be the most iconic game day snack, and you should enjoy yours with this totally gulpable red wine. Its perfumey spice and palate loaded with blue fruit, red fruit, strawberry, cherry and more will keep you reaching for another glass. 

RIBS + KIONA LEMBERGER (Washington, USA)
If you're a Zinfandel, Malbec or Merlot fan, you'll LOVE Lemberger! Juicy with blackberry, cocoa,...

Barbie Wine Pairings

It's t-minus two days until Barbie: The Movie premieres! Is it the best thing to happen to the year 2023? Our hopes are high and we're celebrating Barbie's big screen debut by pairing some perfect rosés to a few of the Barbie dolls we've loved. Enjoy! This Barbie is ready to party.

Malibu Barbie + Pomalo Rosé (Croatia)

Malibu Barbie's debut in the 1970s (pictured above) ushered in Barbie's iconic California cool girl look. And while there have been many iterations of this Malibu gal, you can bet she's always sunkissed and ready to surf until the sun goes down! The only thing missing is a tumbler of pink drink nestled in the sand next to her beach towel. 

Pomalo Rosé is pretty much summer in a glass, and it would be right at home with this Barbie's carefree attitude: The word pomalo loosely means something like "relax, no worries" in Croatian! On the nose, this wine is floral and laced with strawberry and raspberry notes, while the palate is vibrant and bright (like the sun! Ahem). 

Taylor Swift Wine Pairings for Every Album

Taylor Swift is arguably the biggest thing in pop music in 2023. With her Eras Tour heading to Minneapolis this weekend, we decided to give you the perfect bottle for every era. Are you ready for it?

Taylor Swift (2006) was the debut that started it all. With a country twang and some teardrops on her guitar, young Taylor was fresh, unexpected, and a brilliant writer (even at 16 years old!).

DRINK THIS
Buil & Giné 'Nosis' Verdejo | Rueda, Spain
This winery’s  'Giné Giné' red is one of our best sellers, but this white is perfect for all of you Sauvignon Blanc lovers out there! Fresh and tropical with hints of mango, passionfruit, and dried pineapple, this wine is perfect all year long. Taylor’s debut album feels like comfort food for the heart to those of us who have grown up with her and this white pairs perfectly with creamy pastas, cheesy, creamy potato dishes or dips. 

Swift’s sophomore album, Fearless, cemented her spot as a legendary pop artist with singles like ‘Love Story’ and...

Pairing Wine to Our Favorite Dads in Pop Culture

For Father's Day this year, we picked four of our favorite TV father figures and paired wine to their personalities. Highly recommend trying it for yourself! There are so many great dad-like characters (and wines) out there, right? Enjoy!

In many ways, Phil Dunphy of Modern Family could be the epitome of a suburban dad—three kids, nice house, Dad jokes for days. But what makes Phil special is his relentless optimism and whimsical nature. He's kind of like a big kid, and boy do we love him for it. 

DRINK THIS
Unico Zelo 'Fresh A.F.'
 | Riverland, South Australia, Australia
With its deep red hue, this fantastically hip Nero d'Avola reads like a stereotypically "dude" wine. But its whimsical notes of glazed blueberry hand pie and fresh, snappy wild berries give it a childlike essence that perfectly reflects Phil's sweet demeanor and contagious energy. Add a little chill to this one before you serve it to make it shine!

Like every character in The Last of Us, Joel Miller has been beaten...

Pairing Wine to Our Favorite Moms in Pop Culture

If your mom were wine, what would she be? In honor of Mother's Day, we took a crack at pairing wines to some of our favorite moms in pop culture and it was so much fun, we might make it a regular thing. Try it for yourself! 

If you're a Gilmore Girls fan, you know that the only thing it's more famous for than its idyllic Autumnal setting is Lorelai and Rory's crazy eating habits. Lorelai is the quintessential Cool Mom, and both she and Rory subsist largely on diner food, gallons of coffee, and take-out. We found the perfect wine for Lorelai and the best part? It's great with take-out of ANY kind!

DRINK THIS
Union Sacré 'Sangio' Carbonic Sangiovese | Paso Robles, California
This Carbonic Sangiovese is lite, brite + candied cherry with an extremely bodacious personality! Zesty with raspberry + berry notes.  Def ready to drink! Serve it with a chill + get ready to chilllll with a little Gilmore Girl throwback sesh!

We like her for her raspy voice and love her for her role as the moral...
