I'm normally a wine drinker, but as I just said to my hubby the other night when we were having enchiladas and beans and rice for supper, "Wine really doesn't go with tortilla chips. Shoulda had a beer." So, Mexican food for sure.

Wine goes just fine with tortilla chips. You just have to pair it properly. Tannins don't go with salty so no big reds. You don't want a high alcohol 'hot' wine. A bit of residual sweetness to blend with spicy. You have to match the acid balance. Chips & salsa, a good riesling works. A Spanish fruit bomb or a Beaujolais would work.
Other than pizza/Italian sitting at the bar, I don't usually drink beer with food other than bar crunchies.
Have been some interesting replies... its always fun to see others ideas and food - drink pairing choices.
I for sure enjoy a cold beer after getting after some yard work in the middle of summer like a few of you posted.
And yes a cold beer is the perfect match for a summertime cookout / BBQ ... makes no difference if its nice steaks being grilled up or simple burgers, brats or hotdogs.
I have really cut back on my beer consumption in my middle aged years. When I do pour a cold one into a frosted mug I take my time and savor it and appreciate it for what it is ... a wonderful treat brewed by a true craftsman and made for me to enjoy
Keep your thoughts and ideas coming ... its a pleasure reading them all !
Now that we are seniors, Hubby and I drink more wine then beer. However in the summer when we have lobster,steamers, or ice cold oysters on the half shell, a cold beer is a must. Can`t wait for summer.
Wine is a must for steak ot Italian. Love Mexican....can go with either wine or beer
Oh, steamers and beer!
