Inspired by experiences at some of the most renowned wineries in Napa Valley and Sonoma, these wine and potato chip pairings are perfect for a night in or as an entertaining tasting to share with good friends.

Dry Sparkling Wine with Classic Potato Chips | The acidity and effervescence of a dry sparkling wine are a match made in heaven for the basic salty, crunchy chip.

Albariño or Sauvignon Blanc with Salt & Vinegar Chips | Light and bright whites like an albariño or a sauvignon blanc help balance the tanginess of salt and vinegar chips.

Syrah or Zinfandel with Barbecue Potato Chips | Full- and medium-bodied reds like syrah or a Napa zinfandel are the best option to stand up to the bold seasoning of barbecue chips.

Unoaked Chardonnay with Sour Cream & Onion Chips | Opt for an unoaked chardonnay that has a more refreshing style and some acidity, such as a Chablis, to help balance the creaminess of the chips.

Riesling with Jalapeño Chips | A classic choice for spicy foods, an off-dry riesling balances the heat with just the right amount of sweetness and ripe fruit flavors.
