Pairing wine with any food is a very subjective thing. How a wine works, or doesn’t work will depend on your taste buds, and your personal preferences. These pairings are just for fun so be give them a try and see what you think. Do not be limited to these suggestions!
Sparkling Wines are often fruity and acidic. For that reason try them with fruity and tart candies.
Dry White and Rosé wines, like sparkling wines, tend to be crisp and fruity. Try pairing these with fruity, and tart candies. For the white wine try the more citrusy flavored candies, and have the berry flavors with the rosé.
Light bodied reds, like Pinot Noir, have the fruitiness to work with fruity candies, but they also start to work their way into the chocolate realm as well. Try the berry flavored starburst, and the halloween favorite Reeses Peanut Butter cups.
For full bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot I recommend going straight for the chocolate candies.
Food and wine pairing is an art. Finding wine and food that compliment each other takes a little trial and error. What works for one person might not work for someone else. So take these suggestions for what they are – just suggestions. You might not agree, but hopefully you will have fun trying.
