okay. we are paired all kinds of food with wine on this show. that's what we do. today we thought we would give our friend a challenge.
>>
ray is the executive editor of
food & wine magazine
and we asked him to pair wine with convenience store. food from a
vending machine
,
gas station
, or your neighborhood seven 11.
>>
this is doable. we're starting off simple. peanuts, pretzels and popcorn, salty things. with salt, i always go for
sparkling wine
. it -- even when it's dry it has sweetness and with salt it's a fantastic combination. this is from spain. you could go with champagne if you wanted to splurge. but come on it's popcorn.
>>
you think guys watching the game eati ining pretzels are going to drink champagne?
>>
i don't know but girls will.
>>
what goes with a sub?
>>
this is a classic italian sub. i think this is the bistro wine of roam this is what everybody drinks every single day.
>>
oh, that's good.
>>
all of these are under 15 bucks. one exception, that one is 17.
>>
look at that chnachos.
>>
they are spicy with hall pain owes. this is a wine from napa, california. it's a blend. it is three grapes. with spicy stuff you want something fruity and rich. it is 12 bucks a bottle.
>>
okay.
>>
slim jims
?
>>
what goes with
beef jerky
. i have been wondering.
>>
you got get in there. you know they make 500 million
slim jims
a year?
>>
what is in it?
>>
honestly?
>>
i don't know the answer to that question.
>>
the highest quality beef you can buy. but what we have got here is a
wine from argentina
. a huge beef producing country.
>>
nice pairing.
>>
okay. your fruit cup that you get out of your
vending machine
. and we all eat them so often. but this is a lightly sweet sparkling italian
dessert wine
this stuff is fantastic. you can pour that into the fruit cup and make a dessert out of it.
>>
this is my favorite one. what goes with
ding dongs
.
>>
a little difference between the two. but basically your
ring ding
, you got sweet
red wine
. you don't want a
dry wine
because --
>>
i like this.
>>
forget the wine.
>>
have a sip of the wine. a sip of port. why not. you don't want something dry because the sweetness will make the
dry wine
more aggressive so you want a
sweet wine
.
>>
and it classes up a
ring ding
.
>>
and we're moving along to other possibilities.
ramen noodles
.
>>
i get that.
>>
a little bit of pinot from oregon. i think that is a fantastic chicken pairing wine so why not.
>>
look at this. cheez wiz?
>>
sit a classic combination. the french discovered this hundreds of years ago when they were making cheez wiz .n
>>
thanks for having me.
>>
tomorrow
kathie lee
is back.
