I ran across an interesting article on personalities matched to munchies—taking psychoanalysis to new heights. I would suggest that somebody should come up with the eHarmony personality profile for wine lovers, but I think somebody already beat me to the punch. Thankfully, I’m already married, so my wife would just call me a mixed bag of snacks while she’s pretty much a pretzel. Just to keep things on the wine up and up, I’ve included wine pairing suggestions. Which munchie are you? Excerpted from Utne Reader, September ‘07 who Excerpted from Alternative Medicine, May ’07.
Tortilla Chips: You’re a perfectionist. You’re successful and ambitious, and you like to plan ahead. You have a strong sense of social responsibility and abhor injustice.
Wine Pairing: California Sauvignon Blanc/Fume Blanc
Pretzels: You’re the life of the party. You love novelty and can quickly become bored with routine. You tend to start new projects before completing existing ones.
Wine Pairing: Off-dry Lambrusco
Cheese Curls: You have a high sense of morals and ethics and insist upon treating everyone fairly. You might seem uptight, but you’re highly organized and methodical
Wine Pairing: Australian Shiraz
Popcorn: You’re a take-charge type, but with a modest low-key demeanor. Confident but reserved, you would make a large charitable donation without telling anyone
Wine Pairing: Chardonnay
Nuts: You’re even-tempered, easy to get along with, and highly empathetic. Your easy-going, cooperative nature contributes to success at home and at work
Wine Pairing: Ripe, California Pinot
Potato chips: You’re achievement-oriented, successful and competitive. You’re a natural leader but can be irritated with inconveniences like long lines and traffic jams
Wine Pairing: Verdehlo or Gruner Veltliner or Champagne
Crackers: You’re contemplative, thoughtful and often a loner. You prefer private time and shy away from confrontation and arguments; you can’t stand to hurt another person’s feelings
Wine Pairing: Rose
Meat snacks (salumi/jerky): You’re gregarious and generous, and you tend to be loyal to a fault.
Wine Pairing: Medium bodied Cabernet or Zinfandel
Please leave a comment and tell me which snack YOU are.

Nuts, popcorn, cheese curls (yuck), and tortilla chips; my fave being the chips, but it doesn’t say anything about salsa?? Or, even queso??? If I threw one of those two in the mix, what would THAT say about me?!?!?
