Would you like fries with that… wine? Yes, please! French fries are a guilty pleasure for many of us, a nice salty treat that just hits the spot like nothing else can. While you might not immediately think of a glass of wine when you think of French fries, they are a remarkably delicious pair. Next time you have the hankering for some fries, add a glass of local, award-winning wine to the mix. These French fry match ups are sure to please:

French Fries + Sparkling Wine –The crispy, salty goodness of classic fries pairs perfectly with the acidity and effervescence of sparkling wine. You know what they say… opposites attract!

French Fries with Ketchup + Rosé – Whether a sweeter rose like Catawba is your preference or you lean toward a drier Chambourcin based rosé, the light body and freshness will match well with French fries and ketchup.

Seasoned Fries with Ranch Dressing + Chardonel – Full flavor fries call for a fuller bodied white wine like Chardonel that will hold its own and complement the garlic and onion flavors.

Sweet Potato Fries with Aioli + Traminette – Sweet potato fries may not be traditional, but they certainly are tasty. Ideal with the slight sweetness of these fries and the garlicy goodness of aioli is a glass of Traminette.

Chili Cheese Fries + Norton – Missouri’s state grape makes bold, full-bodied red wine that is great with the heartiness of chili and the bite of cheddar cheese on a plate of savory chili cheese fries.
