Super Bowl Snacks & Wine Pairings
Elevate Your Game Day Spread
The biggest Sunday of the year is finally here—Super Bowl Sunday! Are you cheering for your favorite team or just here for the commercials? One thing is certain: game day is all about community, excitement, and unforgettable food and drinks.
You don’t have to be a chef to serve up gourmet game day snacks. With the right pairings, you can turn classic comfort foods into an experience worthy of a championship celebration. Here are some of our favorite wine pairings to take your Super Bowl feast to the next level.
Dips, Chips & Sips
No game day spread is complete without rich, creamy dips. Whether you’re enjoying a classic French onion, buffalo chicken, or a seven-layer dip, a well-paired wine will enhance the flavors while balancing out the richness.
🍷 Wine Pairing: Cultivar Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir – The bright acidity in Sauvignon Blanc cuts through the creaminess, while Pinot Noir complements savory, cheesy dips without overpowering them.
Elevate Your Snacks
Sometimes, the simplest snacks steal the show! These easy yet elevated bites will keep your guests coming back for more:
Truffle Popcorn: Pop fresh corn kernels in butter and truffle oil, then sprinkle with truffle salt for an addictive delicious treat.
Marcona Almonds: Toasted in rock salt and rosemary, they add an extra layer of flavor and crunch to your spread.
Wine Pairing:
- Cultivar Chardonnay, Alexander Valley – A rich, buttery complement to truffle popcorn.
- Cultivar Cabernet, Napa Valley – A bold pairing for salty, crunchy Marcona almonds.
- Cultivar Bordeaux Blend – Perfectly balances the depth of these indulgent snacks.
The Perfect Cultivar Pinot Pairs
Cultivar Pinot Noir was made for game day! Its versatility makes it a perfect match for a variety of game-day bites. Try it with:
Grilled wings, burgers & veggies
Pizza & grilled cheese
Seven-layer dip & buffalo chicken dip
The balanced acidity and fruit-forward notes of Pinot Noir bring out the best in these classic favorites.
Hummus For The Win!
Hummus is always a crowd-pleaser, but why not take it up a notch? Try blending in roasted beets for a vibrant twist, or top with roasted garlic, olive tapenade, or sun-dried tomatoes for an extra burst of flavor.
🍷 Wine Pairing:
- Cultivar Sauvignon Blanc – A fresh, citrusy match that brightens every bite.
- Cultivar Chardonnay – A smooth, creamy balance to rich hummus flavors.
Make This Super Bowl One to Remember
No matter what’s on your game-day menu, the right wine will elevate every bite and every moment.
Cabernet Sauvignon Harvest at Caspar Estate
Harvest Is Complete At Caspar Estate!
In the warm evening hours of Tuesday, September 13th, our crew gathered at Caspar Estate for the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest.
It was one of the earliest harvests we’ve experienced. This was because Mother Nature gave us some unexpected weather fluctuations in the first part of the month. But when we measured the brix, conditions were perfect, and our Cabernet Sauvignon harvest went off without a hitch.
We expect the 2022 Caspar Estate Cabernet Sauvignon to be another fabulous vintage.

Harvesting The Hillside Block of Cabernet Franc
Just days after the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest, we picked our Caspar Estate Cabernet Franc. This time, we harvested in the early morning hours, while fog still hovered above the vines.
This photo of the Hillside Block gives you a sense of how small this half-acre plot is. Planted in 2007, it features close rows placed just below the rocky wall.
The serpentine rocks, composed of iron and magnesium, show their colors. Our Cabernet Franc is completely terrior-driven and very site-specific. This is one of our winemaker’s favorite blocks.

Julien Fayard: Caspar Estate’s Talented Winemaker
With another harvest in the books, the next step in the process lies in the expert hands of our acclaimed winemaker, Julien Fayard.
Named Wine Spectrum’s Winemaker of The Year, and known for his deft work with organically-farmed vineyards, Julien has earned a reputation as one of the premiere winemakers in Napa Valley. Under the tutelage of renowned winemakers from both France and Napa, Julien learned to keep terroir front and center in his winemaking style.
This style complements our philosophy at Caspar Estate, where we believe organic farming practices combined with a commitment to sustainability are key to creating a wine that truly reflects a sense of time and place.
Taste The Cabernet Sauvignon Harvest With A Caspar Estate Allocation
Caspar Estate wines are available exclusively through allocation. You can learn how to request an allocation on our website, or come to our farm-to-table restaurant, Cultivar SF, to taste a bottle with lunch or dinner.
