The draft board is ready. The smoker is fired up. The wine is open. 🏈🔥🍷
For National Fantasy Football Draft Day, I’m putting five smoky snacks and their wine pairings on the clock:
🔥 Smoked Buffalo wings + off-dry Riesling
🐷 Pulled pork sliders + Zinfandel
🌭 Smoked sausage bites + Syrah
🥩 Brisket nachos + Malbec
🌶️ Bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers + sparkling rosé
Each wine brings something different to the lineup—from cooling spicy wings to standing up to smoky brisket and barbecue sauce.
Swipe through the carousel, set your draft-night menu and save these pairings for the season ahead.
Which BBQ-and-wine combination would you take with the first overall pick?
