Pairing Wines and Fast Food

The Washington Post has an article on pairing wines with fast food. Of course, you can't drink wine in the restaurants but if you are bringing your meal home why not enjoy it with something tastier than the supersized soda? Matt Hopkins pairs off wines with some of his favorite treats include the 2002 Vina Alabra Old Vines Grenache with a pepperoni pizza, pairing shiraz wines with Baja Fresh burritos and drinking the 2004 Penfolds Merlot Rawson's Retreat with your Roy Rogers Roast Beef with Cheese or with a Quiznos sub. It's a interesting article and I was completely with him until he suggested the pairing of a pinot noir with a KFC chicken bucket. I haven't tried it but it sounds odd. I think I'll keep the pinot noir with the burger.
