A super Sunday deserves richbeveragesPublished: January 31, 2012

The Super Bowl is big. No, make that Giant.
It applies to everything: game, bets, audience, tailgate,
beverages.
So, to face the festivities with full-bodied choices that will
keep you
rooting forBig Blue.

Magic Hat Brewing Co. scores with Ravell, a creamy porter that
has
the added kick of vanilla. It's part of the Magic Hat Winterland
Variety
Pak, which also includes Howl, the brewer's rich "black as
night" lager
that has coffee notes. The pack finishes with Encore, a
cold-weather
IPA; and the year-round refresherNo. 9, a pale ale-type. Figure
about
$17 for the 12-pack.
For a New York brew, try the Rare Vos Amber Ale from Brewery
Ommegang in Cooperstown. The coppery, rich ale is about $8 for
a
25-ounce bottle. Or consider the upstate brewery's Belgian Pale
Ale,
at about $14 a bottle. Blue Point Winter Ale, a Long Islander
that will
brace you for a long game, is $9 to $10 for a six pack.
The 2008 vintage in Napa Valley deserves a trophy for
concentrated,
classic cabernet sauvignon. Score early and often with the
2008
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon ($49), 2008 Clos Pegase
($48), 2008 Stag's Leap Cellars 'Artemis' ($55), 2008 J.
Davies
($80) and 2008 Hall 'Kathryn Hall' ($90), all memorable, all
loaded with red and black fruit.
Intense and ready for action are two big Long Island reds. The
2007 Macari Vineyards Bergen
Road ($46), a supple and winning four-grape blend leading with
cabernet sauvignon; and the 2010
Bedell Cellars Cabernet Franc ($35), cherry-berry varietal that
shows what a star this grape can
be on the East End.
