{"id":4969,"date":"2017-08-28T12:42:15","date_gmt":"2017-08-28T17:42:15","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/?p=4969"},"modified":"2018-08-20T16:49:38","modified_gmt":"2018-08-20T21:49:38","slug":"commemorative-ice-bowl-wine-pairing","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/commemorative-ice-bowl-wine-pairing\/","title":{"rendered":"There’s a commemorative Ice Bowl wine, so we paired it with game day food"},"content":{"rendered":"

It\u2019s been nearly a half-century since the Ice Bowl. A capacity crowd of 50,861 people packed Lambeau Field on Dec. 31, 1967 despite a negative-teens temperature to watch the Green Bay Packers\u2019 Bart Starr QB-sneak his way to an NFL championship-winning touchdown.<\/p>\n

What better way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic event<\/a> than (drum roll please)… RED BLEND WINE! If you\u2019re wondering why they are commemorating the Ice Bowl with a red wine \u2014 and not, say, something cold \u2014\u00a0please direct your questions to Google because I also have no idea.<\/p>\n

Priced at $19.99, this is the most expensive bottle of wine I have ever purchased for myself. (And it\u2019s even pricier if purchased online<\/a>.) But seeing as this one comes from the vineyards of Illinois, I\u2019m pretty sure I made a great choice!<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you if this wine itself any good \u2014 I have to rely on the grocery store \u201caward\u201d tags to tell me that \u2014 but I can<\/em> tell you how it pairs up with some game day food favorites. Because if you don\u2019t bring it, someone else surely will. How can you not? It has the Packers logo on it.<\/span>\n

\"Ice<\/p>\n

Pairing: Queso dip<\/h3>\n

Fun fact: queso dip is the anti-palette cleanser. Everything I consumed after this dip was tinged with cheap hot cheese. The queso brought out an oaky heat to the wine. You know, that average oaky heat taste… as if I had microwaved the glass for somewhere between 10-15 seconds. I didn\u2019t enjoy it but I kept consuming it, so maybe I did enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Would pair again.<\/span>\n

\"Ice<\/p>\n

Pairing: Vegetables<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t know about you guys, but vegetables don\u2019t really taste like anything to me. I consume them in public so people think I\u2019m healthy, and at home so I think I\u2019m an adult. That said, the vegetables really brought out the taste of the wine, because the wine was the only thing with taste.<\/p>\n

Would pair again.<\/span>\n

\"Ice<\/p>\n

Pairing: Potato salad<\/h3>\n

The flavors of the wine really accentuated the creaminess of the potato salad. And by creaminess, I mean mayo. At one point, I was like, \u201cWow, look at me drinking a $20 bottle of wine and basically eating mayo covered potatoes.\u201d I like it because it kept me humble.<\/p>\n

Would pair again.<\/span>\n

\"Ice<\/p>\n

Pairing: Store-bought cookies<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s always that one lazy person looking for a last-minute item to bring to that that game day potluck, and that person is me. Good thing cookies go with everything, including wine, so I came out a winner again in this scenario.<\/p>\n

Would pair again.<\/span>\n

\"Ice<\/p>\n

Pairing: Wings<\/h3>\n

The heavy barbeque breading really brought out the deeper reds in this red blend. What are those reds? I\u2019m not sure, but it was good. Maybe B-Dubs should start pushing wines and not this 1620-calorie burger<\/a>… save some hearts while they\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n

Would pair again.<\/span>\n

\"Ice<\/p>\n

Pairing: Peanuts<\/h3>\n

Peanuts are your quintessential bar snack, and wine is a bar drink. So yes, all is well here.<\/p>\n

Would pair again.<\/span>\n

In conclusion, it appears I\u2019ll drink wine with just about everything. And if you like wine with local sports logos on it, we recommend stocking up for the September baseball playoff chase with the same company\u2019s Milwaukee Brewers red blend<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
