Toast goodbye to winter and say hello to the sweetness of spring! With Easter bringing in the pastels, fun party gatherings, and baskets filled with nostalgic treats, who says candy is just for kids? This spring season, we have paired your favorite Easter candy treats with wines that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Adults deserve as much fun as the kids. With the right balance of sweetness and bubbles, candy and wine create the perfect Easter relaxer. 

Fluffy Meets Floral: Peeps & Blanc

When Easter comes around, nothing is more iconic than Peeps. The nostalgic soft and surgery marshmallow that has an airy texture and hint of sweet vanilla is the perfect match for a crisp aromatic blanc. 

Our Companion Wines Lodi Symphony 2021 Blanc is a sweeter wine that is fermented in stainless steel with 3% residual sugar. The refreshing cantaloupe and hibiscus nose of this wine is a great complimentary to the sugary peeps. This bright white wine with floral notes helps create the perfect balance of sweetness. With each sip of this white wine refreshing the palate, it creates a light and smooth pairing that makes you feel the springful energy. The delicacy from the floral tones in the wine bring out the softer side of the marshmallow, making this combination spring elevated. 

This spring, try the iconic Peeps and Companion Wines Lodi Symphony 2021 Blanc pairing. This combination is perfect for Easter brunch, daytime sipping, or when simply wanting to enjoy a quiet moment in the spring sunshine. 

Wildy Sweet: Skittles & Sparkling Rosé 

Skittles are too fun to pass up! This more vibrant nostalgic candy, bringing in the bold and fruity flavors, will pair amazingly with a lively sparking rosé. Having a good sparking wine that brings both vibrancy and balance to every bite adds to the fun. 

Our Gruet Sauvage Rosé N.V. has vibrant fruit flavors of strawberry and a hint of cherry shine. This wine is zero dosage, meaning that there is no added sugar, leans crisp and dry which lets the Skittles fruity characters shine. This wine’s acidity cuts through the sweetness of the Skittles, while the bubbles enhance the candy’s tanginess, making the combination of the two feel dynamic. With the citrusy and juicy flavors from this nostalgic candy, each flavor pulls a different note in the wine, turning this pairing into a fun experience. 

Cheers to a Sweet Spring!

With the spring season, we welcome brighter days and fresh starts. With Easter reintroducing a colorful palette and bringing families together, this season is the perfect opportunity to elevate cherished memories. This season, embrace your inner child and mix and match your favorite nostalgic sweets with a good blanc and sparkling rosé! After all, the best moments are the ones shared with family and friends with a glass in hand and sweets to enjoy. 

Cheers to a sweet spring filled with sunshine, celebration, and a sparkle in every sip!
