Wine pairings with Halloween candy?
The fine folks at A Taste of Wine in Miamisburg asked its e-mail-list members whether they have raided their children’s Halloween candy, and suggested the following candy-and-wine pairings:
“For Skittles, Candy Corn and Starbursts, try a sweet riesling. Peanut Butter Cups would pair well with cabernet sauvignon or red zinfandel. And Snickers would be delicious with a 10-year tawny port.”
So now you know.

‘Feminist Wine Club’ will benefit NOW
The California National Organization for Women (NOW) and Bottlenotes have joined to launch the Feminist Wine Club, according to a NOW news release issued late Monday night, Nov. 2.
“All wines in the Feminist Wine Club have been carefully selected by Bottlenotes to showcase some phenomenal wines made or imported by women, or produced at wineries owned by women,” says the Feminist Wine Club web site. “All proceeds from the Feminist Wine Club go to the California National Organization for Women.”
NOW calls the wine club “an easy, enjoyable, non-intimidating way for women to learn about wine, build community, and support women winemakers and causes as well.”
