If there’s one place to find unexpected food combinations, it’s social media. TikTok recipes abound with weird combos like chamoy and pickles, whipped cream and lemonade or Jell-O mix and grapes. The mashup going viral right now is wine with jalapeños. People drop a few thin slices of fresh jalapeño into a cold glass of white or rosé and rave about the taste.
At first, this pairing seems ridiculous. But I’m a certified taster and the author of How to Taste, and I can tell you that there’s solid logic behind this trend.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Have fun it's saturday.
If I could still drink, I’d have me a shot of Jim Beam washed down with good beer. Sucks getting old.
“Sucks getting old.”
The alternative sucks more. 😀
We visited Ruidoso some years ago & found a delicious sweet red wine infused with habanero. I love spicy food, & I regret not buying several cases of that wine. Now I just add a tiny amount of habanero spice to my home brew.
That is some good beer, cold.
And I'm an amateur who just does it part-time.

Depending, of course, on which way you go; ⛅️ or 🔥!
I bought a 6-pack about 30 years ago, and I tell you what, it was like liquid fire! Might have been a hotter-than-average batch, or maybe it had been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years, maximizing that chili goodness!
;^)
I bought a 6 pack of that Cave Creek Chili Beer once. Couldn’t even get one of them down. The rest went down the drain.
Ah, the Noisy Water Winery.
(I live in Rui. Married an Apache girl I’ve know since we were about 4.)
Jalapeños belong with cream cheese, be bacon wrapped, then grilled :-)
It’s better to drink when you’re old. You have much less to lose.
That sounds like a sweet story. I'd watch that movie. Hope you raised a heard of little Geronimos!
A doctor (like mom(, a lawyer, two Marines, and two still in high school.
More like Quanna Parkers.
Worst ever. I immediately needed a beer to wash it down!
I thought that was a distasteful gimmick beer until I drank it with my BBQ, it is a superb food beer.
Yep, that’s the one. :-)
