I, on the other hand, have been known to be a chip fiend. There is never a shortage of chips (Kettle) or crackers in my pantry! So, you can imagine my delight when I was asked to be part of a Kettle Chip & Wine Pairing tasting. However, I tend to be a purist when it comes to chips – only straight-up original Kettle Chips for this chip lover. I was certainly skeptical at the variety of crazy flavors beautifully arranged on the platter before me. Three crunches in, I was pleasantly surprised at how some of the most unique flavors of chips seemed to bring out the best in the wines and vice versa. I was particularly shocked at how well the Salt & Vinegar chip paired with the A to Z Pinot Gris. Who knew?! That’s what I love about food and wine… Some of the most unusual combinations sometimes make the most beautiful, unexpected pairings. So, keep playing with your food!
