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.

Beaujolais Nouveau Wine
This Chipotle Chicken Bowl recipe picks up strong flavors from the ancho chili powder, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. With these flavors and the fresh vegetables, I prefer a light red wine. A Beaujolais Nouveau is a young fresh red wine that is meant to be enjoyed young. Since it’s not complex, offers light fruit flavors and is a little dry, which melds well with this dish!
