Hot Dogs and Wine

Is there a wine that pairs well with hot dogs? I'm not talking about grilled hot dogs or house-made ones that The Belmont Butchery lovingly produces. I'm talking about Nathan's all-beef dogs that are slapped in a bun, wrapped up in a paper towel and nuked for 50 seconds.

Well, I think we found the right stuff - 2006 Martin Codax Ergo Rioja for $11. The wine combines sweet fruit with a bit of earth. Nathan's dogs are slightly smoky. These guys were made for each other (although, I'm sure this was not the plan). Enjoy the combination with or without mustard.
