One of the best ways to unwind after a long day (or week!) is to curl up on the couch and watch a TV show or movie – especially when you have a glass of wine and the right snack to go with it. And who best to share it with?
Of course your loved one. I must admit, I look forward to Friday night when my husband and I can tear open a bag of kettle chips, pop open a bottle of wine and watch a movie after the kids have gone to bed. I’m not alone – 50% of Canadians eat potato chips while watching TV and 61% say their pair a glass of wine with a snack such as potato chips at least once or twice a month.
Wine and Chips Pairing? Perfect Way to Unwind Together
My own statistics show that this wine and potato chip pairing happens much more often – like once a week! Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Winery and Miss Vickie’s potato chips have brilliantly created the perfect sip and snack duo.
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Winery is known for producing delicious wines with excellent quality that deliver light fruit aromas and smooth finishes. Mondavi established the winery near his childhood home of Lodi, California in 1979. Now who would have thought to pair the various wines with the handcrafted taste of Miss Vickie’s premium kettle cooked potato chips, also made with care from the finest ingredients!
What you end up with is an empty glass and bowl because the two together are delicious. I’m not a wine connoisseur by any means but obviously the fine people at Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi and Miss Vickie’s know what they’re doing!
But may I also suggest ditching the husband and inviting a few girlfriends to indulge in a romantic comedy?
