A poem...because Halloween is our favorite holiday!

An Ode To Halloween Candy Pairing\\u2026
\\xa0
Halloween was fun, now it\\u2019s day of the dead
So don\\u2019t make a mistake that will mess with your head
Although some have an empty bowl where once there were sweets
Most of us have tons of left over treats
\\xa0
Whether you\\u2019re stealing from your kids or eating from the work trough
We\\u2019re here to make sure your wine doesn\\u2019t taste off
\\xa0
Because although some wine people recommend Cab
Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Syrah in their gab
We\\u2019ll remind you once more as we did in a podcast
That you should reconsider before you reach for a glass
Dry wine is nasty with Halloween candy
Regardless of your palate, it just doesn\\u2019t taste dandy
Bitter and gross with a hollow taste,
With delicious candy, it\\u2019s such a waste
\\xa0
Better for you is wine that is sweet:
Port, Muscat, Late Harvest anything you really can\\u2019t beat
Ruby Port with Snickers? Late Harvest Zin with Kit Kat?
We\\u2019ve told you a hundred times, this pairing is where it\\u2019s at
Sweet Sherry or sweet Vin Santo is nice
For Starburst and Skittles don\\u2019t think twice
Although I\\u2019d save the Sauternes and Tokay
With the sweetness of the candy, you could give it a try!
\\xa0
We know that sweet wine may not be in your cellar
But a wine sweeter than the dessert transforms things like Cinderella
So grab a sweet wine, invite some friends by
Choose some of these pairings, just give it a try
\\xa0
\\u2018Cause Halloween comes just once a year
And this volume of candy will soon disappear
Don\\u2019t mess it up with a crappy pairing
That will leave you drunk and have you swearing.
Trust us on this one, we\\u2019re not trying to be beat
For candy, Post-Halloween, you better go sweet!
\\xa0
\\xa0HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
