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.

Prosecco
Our Enchiladas Suizas recipe is a creamy dish with the subtle flavors of the chicken paired with a creamy light salsa Verde. I found this dish to pair very well with a Prosecco. Proseccos tend to have a creamier, slightly sweet character than a French Champagne. They are refreshing and citrus notes pairs really well with the enchiladas.
