Why do sparkling wines pair so perfectly with fried food? The bright acidity and bubbles are made for cutting through rich, crispy bites—and on Thursday, September 17, Nikki Stanger is bringing the pairing to life at Cellar 55.
Join us in Fuquay-Varina for Sparkling & Fried, a guided tasting featuring four sparkling wines, each paired with a fried-food favorite:
🥂 Albert Bichot Crémant + tater tots
🥂 Ya Cuvée Cava + fried olives
🥂 Stift Grüner + fried goat cheese
🥂 Albert Bichot Crémant Rosé + chicken & waffle
Come hungry, taste something new, and discover just how good bubbles and fried food can be together.
