Whether we’re stealing “fun sized” pieces from our kids’ Halloween bags till we’ve gotten to king size status or giving in to the office supply, candy during the month of October is extremely hard to avoid. Suffice to say, these candy and wine pairings are proof that there are better ways to Halloween like an adult.

Nerds – Champagne
These fruit flavored candies may be tiny but the bubbles give a major boost that anyone would toast to

Columbia Wine Co. Suggestion: Ayala Champagne Brut Majeur

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – Tawny Port
While peanut butter and chocolate were clearly made for each other, try adding in the caramel tones of a tawny port – you’re welcome

Columbia Wine Co. Suggestion: Royal Oporto Tawny 10 Years

Skittles – Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting the rainbow has now met it’s match.

Columbia Wine Co. Suggestion: Dombeya Sauvignon Blanc

Candy Corn – Chardonnay
This Halloween staple brings a sweetness that becomes down right refreshing when paired with a buttery chardonnay. Plus who isn’t a fan of alliterations

Columbia Wine Co. Suggestion: Rusack Chardonnay

Snickers – Merlot
Hungry? Then pop open something with cherry and spicy notes

Columbia Wine C. Suggestion: Paumanok Merlot
