Wines with Party fare
 
argentina -grapesFor vegetable platters and chips & salsa think zesty, think of high acid wines such as a Sauvignon Blanc. Rancho Zabaco's 'Dancing Bull' Sauvignon Blanc is a great value. For mildly spicy chicken wings try a vibrant, fruity Merlot, such as Turning Leaf's
Other great picks for a crowd would be Blackstone's Merlot, Beringer Vineyard's  White Merlot and St. Hallet's Faith Shiraz. Zesty sparkling wines are actually a great compliment to salty potato chips.
