How do you wind down after a long night of trick-or-treaters?  WINE! A recent study looked at the best wine pairings for Halloween candy.  Here’s what they came up with…

1.  Butterfinger.  Experts say your best bet is a buttery chardonnay!  Ideally one that’s medium-bodied.

2.  Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.  Try a Lambrusco.  The sweetness of the wine goes well with peanut butter for the same reason jelly does.

3.  Kit Kats, or any candy that’s mostly about the chocolate.  Go with a Pinot Noir or a Syrah.  Definitely something red.

4.  Candy corn.  Champagne or Prosecco.  The waxiness of the candy corn goes well with bubbles.

5.  Snickers.  Go with a deep, rich Syrah.  It goes well with chocolate and nuts.

6.  Starburst, Nerds, or anything else that’s straight sugar.  Pair it with a dry Riesling, or a dry rosé.  You’re already getting enough sugar, so you don’t want anything too sweet.
