Esther Mobley’s Super Bowl Wine Pairings – 2017 Lytton Estate Petite Sirah

San Franciso Chronicle

January 30, 2020

San Francisco Chronicle‘s Esther Mobley shares what she’ll be drinking (and eating) to show her San Francisco pride on Superbowl Sunday this year. While there’s definitely beer on the menu, she has a couple of wine pairings in mind, including our 2017 Lytton Estate Petite Sirah with a ‘beefy, cheesy tray of nachos.’

While Kansas City’s breweries might be able to give the Bay Area’s breweries a run for their money (“might” being the operative word there), we’ve definitely got them beat on the wine front.

With a beefy, cheesy tray of nachos, I’ll open Ridge Petite Sirah Lytton Estate Dry Creek Valley 2017 (13.8%, $40), which I’m hoping will have enough structure and fruitiness to stand up to the meat and be able to handle spicy japaleño.
