No one can deny that oysters are a delicacy, but they’re also an acquired taste. Oysters on the half-shell are a perfect way to introduce yourself to this delicacy while going through all of its unique flavors. The best thing about pairing them with white wine is that you can drink as much or as little of it as you want. Just because you’re having an oyster doesn’t mean that you need to drink a whole bottle of wine, after all!

In recent years, there has been an increased demand for chips in different flavors, shapes, and textures. One of the most popular types of chips is kettle-cooked chips.

There are many different brands to choose from when shopping for kettle-cooked chips, but one of the more popular brands is named Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips. This chip is made with 100% potato and contains no artificial flavors or preservatives. Surprisingly these potato chips go well with serval different white wine pairings.
