What is your fave?
My favorite is Malbec.
Oh, isn't that the name of a car?
Maybach.
Got it.
(laughs)
(light guitar music)
Chantel, what are we doing today?
Well, Fred,
today we're trying our favorite fast foods
and we are pairing them with wine
to see if any wine works with our favorite fast foods.
We're adults, okay?
We're full grown women.
(laughs)
And um.
What?
We're full grown women.
As adults we all sometimes enjoy
drinking some wines.
And the thing is
people always told you that you,
wine is paired with classy (bleep) food.
What happens if you want to pair your wine
with some (bleep) food?
(cricket sounds)
Do you like wine service?
Um yes I prefer white wine.
I prefer a bold red.
Oh!
A spicy red.
Oh!
I know (bleep) nothing about wine or wine pairings.
Kristin knows a lot,
so I'm gonna defer to her on most of this,
but I do know a lot about fast food
and what it does to my body.
You could have your own opinion about
what's happening in your mouth.
Damn.
(upbeat music)
- Chardonnay.
A light taste.
A dusting.
A dusting of the palette.
So how does it,
do you usually eat a bite of the food,
then try the wine?
Yeah, I will usually eat a bite of the food,
then try the wine,
then kind of see like
if it's enjoyable.
Like I don't think that there's a science to this.
I think it's just what you enjoy the most.
Alright, let's (bleep) start enjoying.
Okay, cheers Fred.
Cheers.
I think this pairs nicely.
It's good,
I don't know if it pairs great.
Right.
With the beef.
(laughs)
The tang of the cheesy gordita crunch,
matches very well with the tang of the Chardonnay.
Hmm.
I think this is a hefty fatty meal.
I think it needs a rich wine
and I think this is
a little skimpy.
I give this a B-minus.
I give this like a C-minus.
I guess the pairing overall,
I would probably give it like a B.
I'd probably give my pairing a C.
I know Kristin has opinions about Pinot Grigio.
I think Pinot Grigio is a terrible wine.
Pinot Grigio is probably my favorite wine.
It tastes like hangover.
Hmmmmm,
no,
not for me.
Nuh uh.
Not for you either?
Nuh uh. I would give this a D. I would go there as well.
D-plus.
Uh huh, I agree.
D-plus?
Alright.
Still gonna finish it though.
What do we have here?
Sauvignon?
Blanc.
Sauvignon Blanc.
(laughs)
Sauvignon Blanc, here.
Originally from France.
Alright, let's take a bite of your food.
Uh huh.
Cheers.
This is a relationship that I really want to work,
but I understand that I probably should be pricing out
moving companies soon.
A little fruity.
Little fruity.
I would say, I would call this a F.
Uh huh.
This get's a C-minus.
It's gonna be a C - for me.
That's too big a pour.
I'm gonna pour mine.
(laughs)
You don't trust me to pour your wine?
Cheers.
Really see if this enhances the flavor at all.
Now we're cooking.
(laughs)
Now we're cooking.
This is great,
with mine.
I honestly feel like,
this just sort of like,
it's like kind of a spicy wine
and it's sort of like,
amplifies the spice in the Taco Bell.
This works.
This is so weird.
The bite.
The bite in the Pinot Noir is really,
it's just helping to,
its helping with the zest.
Can I try some?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I give this one a solid B.
I'll give it a B,
if I didn't have the memory,
but a B-minus
since I do have the memory.
- The memory of what?
(Bleep) boyfriend.
- What?
Who loved pinot noir.
- You're not tasting the (bleep) boyfriend!
A B.
Like a C-plus.
Spit bucket.
Alright, now we're doing cab.
Let's try the cab.
A Cabernet Sauvignon.
Hmmmm.
Alright.
I react to the Taco Bell every time
as if I'm surprised that I still like it.
Taco Bell?
You need to cheers me.
(laughs)
Sign handy.
You know what?
This is good.
It's a big wine.
It's a big fatty meal.
They kind of just,
they're friends.
They're natural friends.
Hmm, hmmm, hmmm.
Hmmm, hmmm.
(romantic music)
Nuh uh.
Yeah, I don't like cab.
Nuh uh.
It's a solid B-plus.
Yeah I mean I'm gonna give this one a B,
because I don't like it as much as the previous wine,
but it's still really good.
D.
D for me too.
D for dumps.
Dumps.
Now we're trying the zin,
last one baby.
Also the last bite of my gordita crunch.
Oh.
Nope, too much.
Oh.
I'm not mad about it.
I think it kind of works.
You're not like too cuddy,
burn my throat,
C.
Honestly this is perfect.
I'd give this an A.
Yeah, this is an A man.
The Taco Bell and the zin is an A. This is a solid C-minus.
Can I try your hamburger?
Yeah.
I'll try the butt half.
I'd give this a B-minus.
I actually think the Pino,
was my favorite pairing.
Oh.
Of all the wines,
the reds performed the best.
And then I think of all the fast foods,
Taco Bell is the easiest to pair.
Than Taco Bell over McDonald's.
My favorite wine,
honestly probably the zin.
I think the zin was great,
which was the last one we tried.
What about you?
I think the cab was the best.
Had some,
pow.
Had some pow.
Like the flavors meshed well together with the,
a firm hug.
Yes a,
firm hug.
Good hug.
Pairing our favorite fast food with wine,
lady tested,
lady tasted.
Lady wasted.
What?
Wet t-shirt.
(laughs)
Woohoo.
- I don't know if that works.
- It's Friday.
(laughs)
Sorry if you're listening, Troy.
(laughs)
- In the end, we help you don't miss it.
- I'm reading through it.
(laughs)
- I'm sorry Emily.
- Is it floating?
Yeah.
