A poem...because Halloween is our favorite holiday!   An Ode To Halloween Candy Pairing…   Halloween was fun, now it’s day of the dead So don’t make a mistake that will mess with your head Although some have an empty bowl where once there were sweets Most of us have tons of left over treats   Whether you’re stealing from your kids or eating from the work trough We’re here to make sure your wine doesn’t taste off   Because although some wine people recommend Cab Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Syrah in their gab We’ll remind you once more as we did in a podcast That you should reconsider before you reach for a glass Dry wine is nasty with Halloween candy Regardless of your palate, it just doesn’t taste dandy Bitter and gross with a hollow taste, With delicious candy, it’s such a waste   Better for you is wine that is sweet: Port, Muscat, Late Harvest anything you really can’t beat Ruby Port with Snickers? Late Harvest Zin with Kit Kat? We’ve told you a hundred times, this pairing is where it’s at Sweet Sherry or sweet Vin Santo is nice For Starburst and Skittles don’t think twice Although I’d save the Sauternes and Tokay With the sweetness of the candy, you could give it a try!   We know that sweet wine may not be in your cellar But a wine sweeter than the dessert transforms things like Cinderella So grab a sweet wine, invite some friends by Choose some of these pairings, just give it a try   ‘Cause Halloween comes just once a year And this volume of candy will soon disappear Don’t mess it up with a crappy pairing That will leave you drunk and have you swearing. Trust us on this one, we’re not trying to be beat For candy, Post-Halloween, you better go sweet!    HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
