Happy Halloween! Celebrate with the Best Halloween Candy and Wine Pairings

The countdown is on until Halloween, and the stores are stocked with aisles of delicious, sugary candy. While the kids are out trick or treating – treat yourself to some of that extra candy and open a bottle of wine. While pairing candy and wine might not come to your mind immediately, there are a lot of delicious combos that will leave your mouth watering. Check out the seven best wine and candy pairings that will have you stealing all of the candy for yourself!

Sour Patch Kids & Pinot Grigio

While it may not seem obvious, Pinot Grigio is a surprisingly delicious companion to Sour Patch Kids. Pinot Grigio is very crisp with bright acidity that is perfect to balance out the tart candy. The juiciness of the wine really helps soothe your tongue from the sour exterior. The fruity aromas of the wine are a nice companion to this tart, fruity candy.

Wines to Try: 

• Pighin Pinot Grigio Friuli DOC, Italy
• The Seeker Pinot Grigio, Italy

Reese's & Cabernet Sauvignon

Chocolate and peanut butter are arguably one of the most delicious duos. Next time you have Reese’s peanut butter cups, try pairing it with Cabernet Sauvignon to elevate it to the next level. This dark jammy red with notes of dark fruit complements the nuttiness of the peanut butter perfectly. Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and smooth, which helps balance the thick, creamy peanut butter filling. 

Wines to Try:

• Norton Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, Argentina
• Alta Vista Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Argentina
