Wine Pairings:
We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.

Sauvignon Blanc
This Slow Cooker Hatch Green Chile Verde recipe is a very flavorful tangy dish. I would suggest a Sauvignon Blanc to compliment the flavors. A Sauvignon Blanc is going to be fresh and a little herbaceous which would pair well with the citrusy taste of the Salsa Verde.
