As an adult, it's more likely you're taking your Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies with wine, not milk. In honor of National Wine Day, we reached out to Minibar Delivery [1] to ask for the best wine pairings for your favorite store-bought treats, including Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. The suggestions will expand your taste buds and knowledge of wine, with the promise of a lulling you into a sweet sugar high / wine buzz later. Cheers!
- Oreos with Pinot Noir (like The Pinot Project [2]), because "a fruit-forward Pinot complements the creme filling and chocolate."
- Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Riesling (like Clean Slate [3]), because "a dry Riesling is a great refresher to the palate after taking a bite of cold cookie dough ice cream."
- Chips Ahoy with Sauvignon Blanc (like Oyster Bay [4]), because "the aromatic, zesty Sauvignon makes a surprising [companion] to the crunchy, crumbly cookie."
- Hostess Cupcake with Cabernet Sauvignon like (Stag's Leap [5]), because "chocolate and Cabernet make a perfect pairing."
- Twinkies with Pinot Gris (like J Vineyards [6]), because "a light, fruity Pinot Gris goes [well] with the light sponginess of a Twinkie."
- Milanos with Champagne like Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label [7]), because "bubbles [harmonize] with Milanos' soft crunch."
- Cosmic Brownies with Zinfandel (like 7 Deadly Zins [8]), because "a spicy Zinfandel brings a great balance to the [rich] brownie.
