Wine and Beer Pairings:
1) Young red wines that are light-bodied and fruity balance nicely with the spice from the chorizo. We recommend a Russian River pinot noir or an Italian barbera.
2) Chorizo and lager is the classic pairing of sweet and spicy. We like Trumer Brauerei and Bierstadt Lagerhaus.
