Wine Enthusiast has an interesting take on combining candy with treats of a somewhat more mature nature. Pairing wine with candy sounds like a great way for the big kids to enjoy themselves on Halloween. Just be sure not to offer a glass to any wee goblins who ring your doorbell next week.Among the suggested pairings:
- Chocolate: Always goes well with Port, but WE suggests anything in the red wine family, including Shiraz and Banyuls.
- Chocolate with nuts: Try a Sherry or Madeira to go with that Snickers bar.
- Caramel apples: Muscat or Gewürtzraminer are match well with caramel notes, while a Sauternes will highlight more of the apple flavor.
- Candy corn: WE suggests a Chardonnay to pick up on the seasonal treat's buttery, vanilla flavors.
