Renowned Latin Chef Douglas Rodriguez, of Miami and New York, has teamed up with the Wine Marketing Council to produce a Super Bowl “Nuevo Latino” game-day menu that is too inviting to resist until the big game, which will be played in Miami this year, of course. There are other playoff football games this weekend, no?
Chef Rodriguez offers up several recipes for a spicy Latin affair — Nuevo Latino Chicken Wings, Ecuadorian Ceviche, Queso Fundido, Hearts of Palm and Queso Fresco Chopped Salad and Fabada — as well as suggested wine pairings to match each dish and the more traditional game-day favorites such as pizza and chili.
Though he stops just short of recommending specific wines (I suspect the Wine Marketing Council would get into some hot water if it appeared to be favoring one winery over another) the recommended wine types are solid. And you can certainly go to our Reviews page and click on Wine Search and find plenty of great matches.
I must say I’ve never had an Ecuadorian Ceviche, but after I sized up Chef Rodriguez’ recipe it sure made me hungry for some football!
