Best Wines for Tacos, Sushi, and Pizza (You Know, Real Life Food)

Tacos 🌮

2022 Field Theory Albariño — a crisp white wine for tacos
Why it works: This crisp, citrusy white, with bright pineapple and peach notes, cuts through spice and pairs amazingly with fish tacos, carnitas, or your favorite loaded guac. It’s refreshing and won’t overpower bold taco flavors. 

Sushi 🍣

Lost Poet Rosé, the best rosé for sushi nights
Why it works: This wine is light, dry, and fruity, with pink grapefruit, lime zest, and strawberry notes. It’s got bright acidity, which makes the wine pop and provides a nice balance to sushi’s savory, creamy, and spicy elements. 

Pizza 🍕

2022 Pairs Well With Pinot Noir, a perfect red wine for pizza
Why it works: This Pinot’s vibrant cherry and raspberry flavors, along with its subtle and slightly grippy tannins, play well with tomato sauce, cheese, and cured meats– basically everything on your favorite slice. A Pinot isn’t as bold as, say, Cabernet Sauvignon, so it also pairs nicely with a cheese, Margherita, or even veggie pie. 

Bonus Pairings

• Nachos → 2021 Sauvetage Rosé: This Provence-style rosé is dry, crisp, and full of juicy red fruit and citrus zest. It’s a refreshing palate cleanser between bites of melty cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and whatever else you pile on your chips.
  
  

• Ramen → Ruza Rosé: The crisp, fruity flavors of this rosé counter the saltiness and spice in broth-based ramen.
  
  

• Chicken nuggets → Pacificana® Chardonnay: A modern California Chardonnay with green apple, lemon zest, and creamy vanilla notes pairs well with salty, crispy nuggets.

Bottom Line: Wine belongs at your table, whether it’s set with a linen runner or a stack of takeout containers. Winc has the wines to match your real life and palate!
