Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Wine pairings with fast food

Advice from my Cordon Bleu Chef friend:


Pizza with Champagne


Big Macs with Cote Roti 


I should have asked about Chic- Filet and Popeye's good Chicken Sandwich. Later, maybe.

Pizza with cardboardeaux.

Actually I prefer pizza with coke but my hiatal hernia rejects any carbonated beverage. I drink only water or milk with food and even then very little liquid. In fact the hiatal hernia kind of forces me to eat lightly too.

maybe, vino pairing with fast food signals one may have a drinking problem?

A dry cava with Tex-Mex, for those times when you're short of cold beer.

Well they say that champagne goes with everything and that's not wrong, but I prefer zinfandel or any Italian red with pizza. I'd go with a Rhone for Chic-fil-A.

Popeye's Chicken and a Brut Rose.

A semi-sweet Riesling pairs best with spicy chicken. Try it.

Sorry, Barrister, but it's pizza with a good craft or German beer (but no fruity beers, thank you). Pizza and beer is an America tradition. Champagne, or any wine, with pizza is like putting pineapple on the pizza.

White wine with salty buttered popcorn in your living room, binge-watching some dumb video.
