Take Me Out to the Ballgame




Take me out to the ball game take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks I don’t care if I ever get back. . .”

America’s favorite past time is back in full swing in Chicagoland and that means I start to crave peanuts, Cracker Jacks, hotdogs, you know, anything sold from a vendor at the stadium. Of course you think of beer when it comes to these foods but why not wine? As a good friend of mine says ‘Potato chips and Sparkling wine are totally underrated’. I decided to make a list of those favorite baseball foods and pair them up with some Lynfred wine for you.

Hot Dogs. A baseball game just isn’t the same without them. We love them with Rose’, Pinot Grigio, Vin de City Red and Barbera.

Jumbo Soft Pretzels. My favorite is when they are loaded with the course salt and dipped in cheese sauce! We think they would be awesome with Sparkling wine or Rose’.

Nachos. OH, I LOVE NACHOS! Load them with cheese and jalapenos, please.
The jalapenos make a sweeter wine a must. I have personally had them with Riesling but they would be yummy with Gewurztraminer, too!

Cracker Jacks. Making its debut in Chicago’s World Columbian Exposition in 1893, Cracker Jacks, with its molasses, popcorn and peanuts had me drooling since childhood. I recently had Cracker Jacks with our Reserve Semillon 2004 – holy yum! It would be quite delicious with Apple wine, too!

Whether you root for the Cubs or the Sox, one thing I know is that our Lyn-FANS are the winners! Next time you’re hosting your own baseball party be sure to pick up some winning wine from Lynfred!

Home run wishes,
