From the archives, I am relaunching the funniest show I've ever done: Ep 396 -Halloween Candy Pairings with Patrons Kelsey and Colby Eliades.

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. The news isn’t great (candy and wine are HORRIBLE together), but we did find a few diamonds in the rough, including an extremely surprising combo that I thought could be lethal!

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 😂😂😂!
