Hello Friends!
My last post was in July which, in reflection, isn’t TOO bad considering the hectic nature of my life lately. I moved, started grad school, went to NYC, and now I am changing jobs. Bananas! This entire time, I have had a back up wine pairing. I did this pairing months ago before I moved.
I figured tonight was the best night to post my pair because a certain wine-drinking, white-hate wearing woman is back in our lives.
That’s right, Scandal is back and so am I…so let’s get crackin.
The Wine: Brethen of the Road, 2013, Grenache, Santa Cruz Mountains
The Candy: Starburst Candy Corn. Yeah. Yup. It is real.
The Dream:
This was months ago so I do not remember what I was thinking. All I know is this: I was unpacking and I found a sample pack of Starburst Candy Corn that I bought in a fever dream.
Have you ever held a mistake? Because I have.
The Reality:
I don’t know exactly what this is or why I ate it. The candy is basically a Starburst but with a candy corn texture. I don’t understand it. My brain could not handle it. I love candy corn and I love Starbursts, but together they are truly horrifying. If you want to be disgusted and frightened this Halloween, this is the choice for you.
My Thoughts Exactly Olivia
The wine has a yeasty, cherry smell. It is not very fruity and it is dry, which I thought might be good. But I was wrong. Horribly wrong. The texture of the candy meets the wine and it….bubbles. How? HOW? What a mistake.
Anyway, what a post to come back on right? I wish I could have made this more Scandal appropriate…..but that would just be straight wine right? What makes a Scandal pairing?
