Looking for the perfect wine to pair with your Girl Scout cookie?

To make Girl Scout cookies truly an adult treat, Kris Margerum, Wine Director at Napa Valley’s inn and Michelin-starred restaurant Auberge du Soleil, has provided wine pairings for each cookie sold by the Girl Scouts.

"Even the simplest sweets can be paired with a fine wine," said Margerum. "I love pairing confections with exquisite vintages. They shape the flavor and take the simple experience of enjoying a cookie to an entirely new level of enjoyment."


For instance, Margerum recommends the 2007 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine to accompany Trefoils. The creamy richness of the shortbread is balanced by the fresh lively notes of the Sparkling Wine.

Check out the other pairings on the Huffington Post.

A personal recommendation: Jenica Peak Chardonnay

As listeners of my radio show - The Candi & Randy Show - know, I often shout out "more wine" at any given moment for fun and punctuation.

Due to certain health related issues - gout, for one - I pretty much only drink wine when I do drink. And so over the past several years I've spent time trying many wines to find those with the best taste and the best value.

Lately, I've found Jenica Peak Chardonnay to be one of the best "under $10 wines" out there.  This does not taste like a bargain wine at all.  Not too acidic, nice body and I just plain like it.

As I'm about to open a bottle right now, I thought I'd share with you. (And no, I get nothing for the endorsement).

Just sharing a little of my experience to help you have a nice evening with friends.
