Wine, Cheese and Candy pairing – Halloween Edition!

If you love wine, candy and cheese — this Halloween video is for you!
I am more of s savoury person than sweet but these three can all work spookily well together.
For some combos it is a question of matching like for like. For others, I love the savoury/sweet contrast.

In the video I explore:
Sour Haribo with Sauvignon Blanc and creamy goats cheese. Hint — The high acid in all three makes everything pop with flavour.

Caramel popcorn, oaky creamy Chardonnay and brie or triple crème cheese — same principle — the rich caramel and textures add a layer of decadence to all involved.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Rioja and Manchego — might sound weird but watch the video! The American oak in the Rioja matches the nutty hedonism of the Reeses and I adore peanut butter with a Manchego. The flavour infusion is amazing — Spaniards don’t hate me.

Other pairings to try:
White chocolate, Moscato d’Asti and buttery sweet Swiss cheese. The bubbles hold everything together!

Snickers, Oloroso Sherry/Madeira and Roquefort — the combo of sweet, nutty and salty is insane!

What wine, sweets and cheese pairing will you be doing this Halloween?

And yes trust me snickers and Roquefort are frigging awesome!
