"Why not sparkling wine paired with fried chicken? Trust us, the crisp acidity of the sparkling wine cuts through the fried chicken's fat and breading - and complements the crunch - making them an ideal duo. And L.A. of course has an abundance of diverse wine shops and famous fried chicken spots that make the festive meal a convenient option for New Year's Eve or any occasion."
"The fried chicken from Tallyrand in Burbank (three pieces, mashed potatoes and coleslaw for $19.95) may be the most dependable plate of fried poultry in town. It's a deep amber color with a craggy coating that can withstand multiple dunks in hot sauce, ranch or gravy. It's even better cold the next day. It pairs well with any wine crowded with fine bubbles, nice acidity and a flavor profile that leans more bakery than garden."
Restaurants and wine shops across Los Angeles recommend pairing fried chicken with sparkling wine for New Year's Eve or casual gatherings. Sparkling wine's crisp acidity, fine bubbles and bready or toasty aromas cut through fried chicken's fat and breading while enhancing crunch. Tallyrand's deep-amber, craggy fried chicken (three pieces with mashed potatoes and coleslaw) works well with brioche-scented Cremant; the 2023 Delphinium 'California Cremant' offers citrus, minerality and bready notes. Pairing choices emphasize wines with fine bubbles, good acidity and bakery-like flavors. The combination is convenient due to the city's diverse wine shops and renowned fried chicken spots.
