\"Pairing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it really is the perfect pairing.  And not just because I absolute love any type of french fries and all things bubbly, but because science proves it!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Food & Wine, \u201cSalt and fat both love Champagne (and vice versa).\u201d  The high acidity in the glass of sparkling wine and those perfect bubbles are the ideal preparation for each and every bite of the delicious fatty, salty food.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons bubbly pairs so well with french fries is because the salt helps balance out the acidity of the bubbly. It helps cut through that tang just a bit making you crave more of both the sparkling wine and the french fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since we love nothing more than creating fun pairing parties, we gathered several different types of french fries and a few varieties of French sparkling wines and truly enjoyed every bite and sip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante, a French Sparkling Wine <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A French sparkling wine for unapologetic women.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have been following this brand since before the sparkling wine had even been released.  And I am beyond excited to use this French bubbly to create the perfect pairing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine is all about connection.  Connecting to the stories behind the bottle or the winery, Connecting with the people we choose to pop open a bottle with.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after you hear all about how Exigeante came to be, you will want to connect with them<\/a><\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante <\/a><\/strong>was created for women by a strong, bold woman encouraging every woman to not apologize for who she is, but rather, celebrate who she is and truly embrace exactly who she is.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante is a mindset:  Go after exactly what you want and don\u2019t let anything get in your way.  Exigeante celebrates all women, empowering them to truly be themselves.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translated, the word Exigeante, means demanding.  This sparkling wine was created for all women who have ever been called bossy or demanding.  Let\u2019s embrace that, celebrate that and raise a glass together.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante, a sparkling wine that should be popped to celebrate empowered women all over the globe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imported from France, made using the tank method (same as a Prosecco) with 3 varieties, I know you will find the perfect bottle to pop in celebration with your girlfriends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante Brut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Exigeante<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We really enjoyed this bottle of brut. With hints of citrus, melon, and green apple, it\u2019s a very refreshing bubbly that is easy to drink on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante Low Sugar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Exigeante<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A fruity bubbly with citrus, green apple, kiwi.  Even though it\u2019s a low sugar bubbly, it tastes like a sweeter version of the brut.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exigeante Ros\u00e9 Frizzante<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Exigeante<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is the perfect blend of of red fruits and floral.  This is not an overpowering ros\u00e9 at all, it\u2019s easy to drink and because it\u2019s a frizzante, it is not as bubbly as a typical sparkling wine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now be careful when you open up that bottle of Exigeante.  Every bottle contains a fun secret message, just for you, underneath the foil.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

French Fry Line Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, you know there are a whole lot of varieties of french fries.  And it\u2019s safe to say that I love almost every french fry I eat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this french fry and bubbly pairing, we decided to go to the grocery store and buy one of every kind we could find in the freezer section.  I typically don\u2019t ever dip my fries into anything, so we did not buy any fun dipping sauces and let the french fry and bubbly work it\u2019s \u201cau naturel\u201d magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here was our final grocery store french fry haul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
