Girl Scout Cookie Wine Pairings
From The Huffington Post
"Even the simplest sweets can be paired with a fine wine," said Margerum. "I love pairing confections with exquisite vintages. They shape the flavor and take the simple experience of enjoying a cookie to an entirely new level of enjoyment."
Not sure what to drink while you're sneaking yet another Thin Mint? Check out the slideshow below.
2007 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine. The creamy richness of the shortbread is balanced by the fresh lively notes of the Sparkling Wine.
2010 Dr. Loosen "Bernkasteler Lay" Riesling-Kabinett. "The lemon notes and powder sugar create an amazing match with this off-dry, high- acid white wine," said Margerum.
2009 Schloss Gobelsburg Gobelsburger Zweigelt. The light bodied and fruity Zweigelt paired with the Do-Si-Dos brings home the flavors of peanut butter & jelly.
2006 Renwood "Grandmére" Zinfandel
2009 Romililly Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Graham's 20-Year Tawny Port
The Noval Vintage Ruby Reserve Port is rich enough to match the chocolate and mint flavors.
Margerum recommends the Rare Wine Company's "Imperial-Old Reserve" Malmsey Maderia, because, "Nothing goes better with sweet Maderias than chocolate and nuts."
