The State Fair gives the Big Tex Choice Awards to the best new foods every year, but not all deserve the honor
Pinot Noir Popcorn
20 coupons ($10)
Wine lovers will be a big fan of this award-winning choice. Santa Monica kettle corn is flavored with pinot noir burgundy wine dust and savory cheddar cheese – a perfect balance for a delicious adult snack.
What goes best with wine? Cheese. So it’s not really difficult to screw this one up. It was a pleasant surprise, though, that the wine taste did not overpower the cheddar cheese flavoring.
It wasn’t a snack one would have at a vineyard, but it should suffice for wine lovers at the State Fair.
