I’m so excited about the Super Bowl this year.

Not because it’s going to be a great game with the New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

Not because of the #deflategate nonsense.

But because of I think I’m going to pair a Riesling with my wings!

So fun!

But I can’t take credit for that idea. Luis Garcia, Director of Services for Paige Hospitality Group suggested it.  The high-end sports bar and lounge The Ainsworth is under their umbrella and they have taken sports bar food and drink to a whole new level.

So Garcia came by with some Super Bowl wine pairings that were worth considering as you start to plan Sunday’s meal.  And if you’re like me – the meal (and the wine!) is just as important as the game.

Consider this:

Herman J. Weimer Riesling with House-made Chicken wings

Numanthia Tempranillo with their Mac & Cheese Burger

Moet & Chandon Imperial Champagne with a Thai Kale Salad with Shrimp

Yum.

The Paige Hospitality Group has eight properties and is opening their 9th, another high-end sports bar called The Chester Midtown.  It’s grand opening is Super Bowl Sunday. So if you’re in New York City, it's $50 all you can eat and drink, at 33rd St and Park Ave.

Swing by and tell Garcia we said hello.

Cent’ Anni.
