To be honest, we'll take any excuse to drink wine with Girl Scout cookies [1] or candy, so we decided to come up with legitimate wine pairings for the best Easter [2] candy (you're welcome). With a little help from Meredith May, publisher and editorial director of both The SOMM Journal [3] and Tasting Panel Magazine [4] (she has 25 years of wine writing and tasting experience), we present to you wine pairings for Peeps, Robin Eggs, and more. Cheers!

Peeps: Champagne or Prosecco

"Bubbles pair beautifully with sugary sweets, and there's something particularly pleasant about the effervescent effect of bubbles with colorful Peeps."

Robin Eggs: Rosé

"The fragrant aromas of wild strawberries — especially that of LangeTwins [5]'s Sangiovese Rosé — go hand-in-hand with the sweet crunch of malted milk and a hint of chocolate."

Jelly Beans: Gewürztraminer

"The dry white wine boasting aromas of ginger, jasmine, and honey and flavors of melon and orange is the ideal complement to the classic bean-shaped sugar candies."

Cadbury Chocolate Eggs: Chardonnay

"The mouthful of rich, velvety chocolate and cream meet their match with the tropical aroma and silky finish of a Chardonnay."

Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs/Chocolate Bunny: Zinfandel

"The intense berry flavors of a Zin have an underlying black-tea spice that is framed by smooth tannins and a luscious mouth feel — perfect in between bites of melty chocolate."
