Best snacks/easy food with Red Wine??

[hotwine]

Mike has some good words there on snacks. One that we've enjoyed lately as an appetizer with our Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is Alpine Lace Feta cheese and Keebler fat-free saltines.
Another we like this time of year is sausage made with 1/3 each venison, wild hog and beef, served with crackers and a Rhone.
Or on a long, cold day of barbecuing, beef finger ribs (which we call "samplers") and a Rioja go together nicely.

There are many possibilities, but generally, meats and cheeses work very well with most red wines. But the heavier the foods (fatty, smokey, spicey), the more robust should be the wines.
