best rich red wine
Curling up with a cup of hot cocoa is the highlight of spending a chilly night indoors. It's warm, delicious, and will soothe your soul. What could possibly make such a wonderful thing even better? Red wine, of course.ImmaEatThat recently posted a recipe for Red Wine Hot Chocolate, and we were a little skeptical at first. But, then we thought, red wine and chocolate already pair so well together, so really, putting wine in chocolate just makes sense.To treat yourself to a cup of this cozy beverage, mix 1½ cups milk and ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until it becomes the creamy, hot chocolate goodness you know and love. Now comes the best part—add 1 cup of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon is a good pick), and stir until fully mixed. At last, this rich, chocolatey, spiked cup of perfection is ready for you to enjoy.Many hot cocoa fans have already made their own versions of the boozy creation, and the results are nothing short of amazing. From the looks of it, spiked hot cocoa can truly do no wrong.

This combo, dare we say, might even convert candy corn’s biggest skeptics.
best wine coolers 2017 Bottles to Try:Owen Roe Ex Umbris Syrah, $21Edmunds St. John, Fenaughty Vineyard Syrah, $32 There’s just something uniquely transcendent about the union of roasted nuts and a deep, rich red. Tack on the vanillin harmony between caramel, nougat, and a gentle dose of oak, and the symbiosis of Snickers and Syrah is pretty much a match made in candy-coated heaven. Bottles to Try:Matthiasson Napa Valley Chardonnay, Linda Vista Vineyard, $29Domaine Eden Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains, $30 Despite the thin layer of chocolate, Butterfinger bars are fairly one-dimensional. As the name suggests, it tastes like butterscotch. Pair with a medium-bodied chardonnay that has a streak of fat-cutting acid (read: doesn’t OD on oak). Bottles to Try:Argyle Nuthouse Riesling, $30St. Urbans-Hof Estate Riesling QbA, $16
Tart, tangy, and tooth-achingly sweet, Nerds beg for a wine that can do battle with lots, nay, mountains of sugar. An off-dry Riesling (sorry Spatlese and Auslese rieslings!) is a great foil. Seek one with bright acidity and some mineral edge. Bottles to Try:Smith Story Pinot Noir Rose, $20Chateau Trinquevedel Tavel Rose, $17 Pink wines aren’t just for summer. With so many good, inexpensive roses now on the market, it has become as much of a refrigerator staple as sriracha and mustard. Don’t believe us, pop the cork on any crisp, refreshing bottle from Provence to Piedmont and watch it tame the amplified fruit flavors of Starburst, Nerds, or Airheads. As if you needed another excuse to raid your kid’s Trick or Treat bucket. Bottles to Try:Chateau Thivin Cote de Brouilly, $20Broc Cellars Valdiguie, $24 Essentially a spherical shot of malt powder, Whoppers are one of the easiest confections to match with wine. Think in terms of the soda fountain favorite and partner with any flavor from the Neapolitan holy trinity (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry).
We lean toward the fruitier, strawberry-laden end of the spectrum, hence our preference for a juicy Pinot Noir, Gamay, or even Napa Gamay (aka Valdiguie). Bottles to Try:Bodega Gutierrez Colosia “Sangre y Trabajadero” Oloroso sherry, $15Bodegas Grant “La Garrocha” Amontillado sherry, $16 Think sherry is just for backgammon playing grannies? Aged fortified wines (Amontillado and Oloroso sherries, for example) develop nutty, whiskey-like notes that are natural companions with a range of desserts—particularly almonds and coconut. Bonus: medium sweet sherries are not only one of the wine world’s best values, an open bottle can last for up to two years in your fridge. Bottles to Try:Venturini Baldini Lambrusco dell’Emilia, $15Lini 910 “Labrusca” Rosso Lambrusco NV, $16 When it comes to great culinary tandems, peanut butter and jelly is up there with salt and pepper. So stick with what works and chase those iconic corrugated cups with jelly’s boozy surrogate: Lambrusco.
