Stan reviews four wines that might be a good match with pizza. With all the football in January, culminating with the Superbowl, there will be a lot of pizza consumed. Instead of beer, why not bust open a bottle of wine for the football party!
Hello everyone and welcome to Stan the wine Man TV I am your host stanmer tan and this is a blue collar wine show where I help you spend your wine dollars wisely uh football players are coming up Seattle plays uh Seattle the huskys play
Texas we got a lot of stuff going on in the NFL January is going to be filled with playoff action and so I thought it would be really cool to do a best wies with pizza a lot of people eat pizza during the playoffs and you know what I kind of avoid beer
During watch in football because it bloats me and I actually go to wine so don’t feel like a wimp say I can’t pull out the wine on a guy you know I’m a guy got to pull out the beer forget about it if people know you like wine pull out
The wine you’ll be surprised at how many people actually dive into it and so we’re going to look for wines that go good with pizza go well with pizza anyway I just kind of pull these out of the store I don’t know so we’re going to find out have the pizza here
Ready to go and we’re going to get started but right right away I’d like to do a shout out I said I would do a shout out so a shout out to new subscribers I got mentioned in the Northwest magazine insert in the Seattle Times um I want to first thank Eric I

Lance and cherot thank you those are locals thank you for subscribing to the channel Christine Newman tabletop Chris Gregory Cooper Barbara Travers thank you very much I hope you’re enjoying these programs uh I hope can give you some good content and some good advice on wines so best wines with
Pizza I went two of the wines from Italy which makes sense because Italians do pizza very well this is the carpineto dogga Jolo red it rolls in at $14 it’s a 2020 okay uh this rolls in at $14 I think I said that um let’s give it a little rinse here
You know tell you one as I’ve said many times before um the European wine makers always seem to make their wine to go with Foods so I’m very curious to see how this one turns out um yeah fairly dark but you can see through it a little
Bit so I’m going to say you know kind of a darker reddish crimson color but not too dark let’s see what we get on the nose little licorice cherries almost a Blackberry component coming through a little bit of black olive as well let’s see what we get on the pette
We’re going to taste it first and then have it with the pizza lots of minerality on this wine very like CR Crush rock big time Big Time Crush rock kind of a uh Cherry notes um don’t get the I don’t get the licorice fresh acidity kind of crunchy
Actually in the pette with that uh crushed stone rock very curious how this will go with the pizza let’s give it Pizza Pizza P Pizza actually to be honest this is a little too acidic for the pizza you need a little bit of a deeper kind of richer
Red sauce to go with this one this is a Douro Supreme Pizza that I bought at the store most people will do um frozen pizzas I like Douro like fretta this is I don’t get paid for saying this I those are just kind of the pizzas I go to no doesn’t
Work sorry guys not a match I like this wine a lot I’m going to go I’m going to go B minus on this wine I think it’s uh better than average I think it needs some serious food not a pizza uh yeah I’m going to just go be
Minest on the wine and it does not match with pizza so no Dogg of Jolo for your pizza party during the playoffs football playoffs I don’t think it also it is not a 80% wine so you’re having a bunch of people over you’re going to get a lot of
People going what are you serving to us you idiot no kid not Idiot don’t serve this wine with pizza serve it with lasag serve it with now this would actually be good with a I think it’d be good with barbecue chicken to be quite honest but
Not with pizza B minus let’s move on we’re going to Italy again this time it’s the um 2017 which is surprising um Mia Tor zambria multiple Brut so so it’s m chano the grape from a bruso and it rolls in at $12 great price again I’m looking for Budget wines
Because look it’s a it’s a football party pizza party you don’t want to spend a lot of mne of money on your wine just saying color on this is a little darker as I can tell right away pouring out out of the bottle a lot darker than the dog Jolo
The dog Jolo by the way was 80% Sanu vasy 20% cab I forgot to mention that so this is multiple Cho from Ab Bruto let’s see what we get on the nose lot of licorice on this good current notes we black olive as well getting some leather components coming through on this
One okay let’s see what we get on the pallet so it’s fresh which is good black currants coming through front finish little bit black olive notes coming through as well black licorice on the mid pallette into the finish this wine is simple I’m going to call this a simple wine good table
Red not complex it’s interesting enough but you know this is so I’m thinking if this works good with a pizza this might be a really great wine because you know you’re watching the football game you’re not really thinking about your wine right you you get the point
I like this match they don’t compete with each other which is what you want you don’t want them to competing they actually compliment each other you get you can taste the pizza you can taste the wine they flow nicely together I like it even though this is a simple wine I
Think it’s a delicious wine I think it um is not quite an 80er because there’s a you know when I go to 80% I look for also for uh people that are looking for a more complex wine so I would put this in the six 55 to 60%
Category but the point of this episode is this goes well with pizza so I think this is a c plus B minus wine it’s $12 I think it’s a good value I think if you’re having a pizza party this would be a great wine to bring to the
Party it goes it it does match well with pizza yeah yeah and there fresh enough so you know if you make your own P Pizza and you put a little more to it you still think it would hold it I haven’t done I have not uh put up a video with matching food
And actually eating the food I want to hear a comment from you guys and you guys that don’t comment that come to the store and tell me what you thought make a comment please it it I’d like to respond to comments I like it when you comment um a
Lot uh thank you David ralo Romo for making comments he Jes in all the time I really appreciate that because you know just I just like it a lot so make a comment do you think I should do more of these where I actually eating the food
And matching it with wine I want to know I want to know because that helps me for 2024 let’s move on this is a 2018 confidential Reserva Tinto from Portugal and looking this up on the website it says we use 10 different varietals and they’re all confidential thus the name so it’s
Basically KY sink blend $13 there you go and I thought it’d be cool to pull a Portuguese wine in I love Portuguese wine I really do that’s too big of a rinse something’s wrong with me stand come on but we need to Rinse okay color ah kind of between the multiple Gio and the carpaneto dog Jolo kind of a reddish purple color very interesting knows I get a little eucalyptus which is not surprising cuz Portugal battles with eucalyptus they brought it from Australia evidently and they don’t like
It that much it’s a weed as they say a little mommy a little Liquors Curr and blueberries Cur currs and blueberries baby currants and blueberries let’s see what we get on the palette so the eucalyptus freshness comes through on the palette the blueberries come through on the mid pallette very balanced good fresh
Acidity uh uh little bark kind of little bark thing going on even some chocolate on the back of the midp in the finish a little more complex than the multiple Triano let’s see how it goes with the pizza okay once again they marry together nicely you always want a food and wine
Pairing where the wine and the food compliment each other this brings out a little spiciness in the wine which is really cool I didn’t get that with either of the first two so kind of a spicy characteristic liquid snows come through like I said the freshen of the
City I’m a big crust guy by the way I love the crust how many of you like the crust do you eat the crust pizza or do you just throw it away my wife was not a big crust fan nice match now the eucalyptus is very subtle I don’t think that’ll throw
People off in fact some people I not even know what they’re really tasting in this one but since I taste so many wines with eucalyptus on it and kind of catch it you know what I mean that’s okay uh what did I say the price on 11
Bucks I mean come on no not 11 $13 great price you having people over yeah it’s very good wine I’m going to go straight up B on that wine I think it has a good complexity I like the way it matches with the pizza I’m going it straight up
B on the confidential red 200 18 all right so I had to do a new world wine and I like this wine I’ve reviewed it in the past what am I doing with this freaking rinse come on guys slap me slap me don’t rinse so heavy I guess I’m not thinking you
Know so this this is the uh 2021 Colby red red blend from the cool thing about the story and you you’ll remember this the son the son had heart surgery when he was really young he you know everything worked out really great for him and then he approached his father later and he
Said dad can his dad’s a wine maker he said Dad can we make a wine and donate proceeds to Heart research you know help people out with heart surgeries and I said yeah so all the money from this the sales of this wine that proceeds from this wine go towards heart
Research helping people out with heart surgeries it’s 11 bucks Kobe red sorry I don’t have the breakdown for you but this is more about whether it goes with pizza not necessarily the breakdown of the one but I was surprised when I did this episode last time I
Thought it had more Zin in it it might have a little bit but it’s not necessarily Zen based wine I thought it’d be fun to do this wine because um not the the Wine’s not fun Scott it would be fun to do this wine because you got to throw in a new
World wine for pizza let’s see what we get on the Note oh color very very dark no surprise there let’s see what we get on those this one h es towards clams I’ll I’ll explain the clam thing at sometime I think I I think last time
I tried this one on YouTube I I I kind of got into the clam thing definitely current knows a little bit of that panda bear licorice not twist licorice not the sweeter licorice but more the panda bear style a little bit of a interesting kind of green Tob thing going on black
Raspberry dark curs okay let’s see what we get on the pallet nice balance on this wine good freshness there’s some acidity here um I get that kind of panda bear black you know more natural licorice not super strong you know licorice more subtle uh currants dark cherries huge black raspberry hit on the
Mid pallet into the finish the Finish is very fresh so I’m super excited to see how this goes with the pizza 11 Buck I was a little nervous about doing a new world wine with pizza because of the fruit oh 14 14.5 alcohol so here’s my comment on this one
You’re having a pizza party you’re doing Pizza the fruit on this one sort of overrides the pizza but not entirely but a lot of people will love this one they don’t give a crap if it doesn’t match perfectly with pizza it does not crazy out of balance
Okay I’m going to call this a popular wi I’m going to go straight up B B+ does it match with pizza I think you know what it’s such a good wine and it doesn’t conflict enough that people will give a crap so yes serve it with pizza
