    Great wine, Gar! When I first saw the title I had to chuckle, but now I’m definitely gonna try a candy bar the next time I pop a bottle!

    QOTD: king size Snickers baby

    Really intresting show! Never thought about candy bars and wine before. This is why we love you, Gary! QOTD: Snickers, with Abba Zabba a close second. Sour Patch Kids still rule the day, though.

    QOTD: PayDay. Probably pair it with a chardonnay, or dessert wine.
    Cool show!

    QotD: Kit Kats are good but I love Reese’s anything and have a hard time resisting them. Had Reese’s Whoppers recently, a combination of two of my favorite candies!

    We have been doing a tasting locally “Chevron meets Cheval Blanc” Its Brilliant!!! Prosecco with Krispy Kremes, Nice rich merlot with Ding Dongs, BBQ Lil Smokies or Fudge Brownies with Zinfandel, Unoaked Chardonnay with Apple Pie, Rose with Swanson Turkey Pot Pie, there are more. We are taking the snob out of wine

    In college, wine and candy didn’t go well for me one night. Rough night. Snickers doesn’t work.
    But I would love to try wine and Reece’s Peanut Butter cups.

    Sorry gang, but I’m catching up so I’m late on the feedback.
    QOTD: You know, the $100,000 candy bar was my absolute favorite as a child–probably tied with Snickers. However, I ate one this past Halloween, and it was waaaaaaaay too sweet for me. I guess I’m getting old because I now prefer Cacao Reserve 65% Dark Chocolate by Hershey. Go figure!

    QOTD: Snickers Dark or Butterfinger. Frozen Twix are good too.

    Hey Gary,

    I am a fan of WLTV and think it is very important to find new and interesting ways to make wine education fun. My contribution to wine education is to put together an event in Toronto, Canada to educate the Millennial Demographic about wine. When I watched your episode on candy bars, a lightbulb went off for an event theme.

    Would you be able to give me a few other candybar wine match ups? Are there any candy bars that go with a white wine that you could recommend?

    Thanks,
    Sarah

    I’m down with the kit kat myself. Eating the layers off one at a time makes me happy.

    I do love the Three Musketeers–sorry Gary. So fluffy and tasty. The low fat is a plus.

    Off the subject a bit: love cookies and cream ice cream with vino (can be just about anything red)

    How could you overlook Charleston Chew? Then if you’re feeling adventurous you can freeze it. OR try the cherry flavored. Double bonus.
