Once your kids are in bed, the question is . . . what type of WINE goes best with their Halloween candy? Here are six candies, and the best wine to pair with each one . . .
1. Butterfinger. Try it with a buttery chardonnay. The flavors go best with a white wine. Ideally one that's medium-bodied.
2. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Try a Lambrusco. It's a sweet wine that goes well with peanut butter for the same reason jelly does.
3. Kit Kats, or anything that's mostly about the chocolate. Go with a Pinot Noir or a Syrah. Definitely something red.
4. Candy corn. Pop a bottle of champagne or Prosecco. Apparently 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.
