Pricey, but novel.
I’d use caution, however, in pairing a full-malo Chardonnay with Popcorn. Here’s why; if the Chard has undergone full malo, the acids have been softened. And what does a wine need to take on fat? Acid! So, let’s compromise. A full-malo, maybe even oaked Chard for un-adorned popcorn, or a refreshing New World Sauv Blanc for a buttered popcorn. Deal or No Deal?

I’m just not excited to be next to the person who squirms to their seat and spills their drink; soda and slushies do not stain as much as wine.

Somehow, I would prefer renting a movie and opening a bottle of wine in the comfort of my own home. Oh yes – wine would be a sparkling served with lots of buttered popcorn.

If I may be so bold, we should all raise a glass tonight in remembrance of those lost 7 years ago on this day:

A nice Carmenere or mature Tempranillo are excellent popcorn pairings!
