Pairing American wines with food can be a delightful experience, especially when you consider the diverse range of dishes and flavors found across the United States. Here are some classic American dishes and the best American wines to pair with them:
1. Buffalo Wings + Smith Madrone Riesling Spring Mountain Napa Valley
Buffalo wings, with their spicy kick, pair wonderfully with Riesling from the Spring Mountain. The slight sweetness and frothy acidity of the Riesling balance the heat of the wings, creating a harmonious flavour experience.

4. Fried Chicken + Dr. Konstantin Frank Salmon Run Riesling
Fried chicken, with its crispy and salty goodness, is elevated when paired with a Dr. Konstantin Frank Salmon Run Riesling. Bright fresh fruit with dominant characters of fresh pineapple and lemon sorbet. The light sweetness is well balanced by a refreshing acidity of the wine cut through the richness of the fried chicken, making each bite feel like a celebration.
