Ep 396: Halloween Candy and Wine Pairings Revisited

We scoured the internet to find commonly recommended pairings, so we could actually try them and tell you if any of these things actually work. Much like our prior episode, the news isn’t great, but we did find a few diamonds in the rough, including an extremely surprising combo that I thought could be lethal! Patrons Kelsey and Colby Eliades guest host with me to power through this episode and sum up the things we learned about candy pairings – what works, what doesn’t, and why!   Here are the combos we tested… Pop rocks with Prosecco   Candy corn with Prosecco and Moscato d’Asti Gummy worms with Rosé   Sour Patch Kids with off-dry Riesling   Starburst and Moscato d’Asti   Twizzlers, and Swedish Fish with Beaujolais   Kit Kat with Pinot Noir   Peppermint Patties with Syrah   Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and Reese’s Pieces with Lambrusco   Hershey's bars and Whoppers with Zinfandel Port-style Zinfandel with M&Ms, Snickers, Twix, Heath bar   And, so concludes my attempt at pairing wine with Halloween candy. We did the encore, I am so thankful for Kelsey and Colby for participating, and now I'm never doing this again 😂😂😂!   ____________________________________________________________ Registration for the FREE Wines of the Médoc Class is here:  Session 1, October 21 at 8 PM Eastern Session 2, October 28, at 8 PM Eastern   Thanks for our sponsors this week: Wine Access: Access to the best wines for the best prices!
