Wine and candy pairings for leftover Halloween candy

Posted
and last updated

Halloween was last week but many people still have leftover candy. If you're getting down to the types of candy you don't like so much... you might consider pairing a piece with some wine!

A wine bar "Infinite Monkey Theorem" has some ideas:

Leftover candy corn pairs well with a late harvest Riesling. That's considered a dessert wine and goes well with fruit desserts.

Sweet Tarts are apparently a match with a dry Riesling. Experts say the two will give you the perfect flavor balance.

The infinite monkey theorem says Rose and pink Starbursts are a great match in color and in flavor.

And a couple other suggestions: Sauvignon Blanc with Sour Patch kids, Zinfandel with Raisinettes, or Lambrusco with Twizzlers.
