Cookie and Wine Pairings with Vinstinct

May 30, 2022

We love a good food and wine pairing, so we asked Chelsea from Vintinct to help us find the best wine pairings for our cookies.

How To Pair Wine With Food

"Whenever you pair wine with food, you always want to consider how the flavors and even the texture of the food affect the wine," says Chelsea.

Much like pairing tea and cookies, you never want one to overpower the other.

Pairing Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies With Wine

Our crispy Chocolate Chip cookies have a chocolate sweetness, and are light in texture, and of course, crispy.

Chelsea suggests pairing it with Barefoot's Strawberry Fruitscato. Barefoot describes this wine as, "a blend of our deliciously sweet Moscato with natural flavors of juicy, sun-kissed strawberries."

The lightness and fresh berry notes best compliment the lightness of the cookie..

Pairing Soft-Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies With Wine

Our Chocolate Chocolate Chunk cookies are softer and more dense in texture than our crispies. They pair better with a more traditional dessert wine like Treleaven port-style wine.

Chelsea says, "The full viscosity and juicy fruit notes of this wine best suits the rich texture of these cookies.

These cookies are wonderful! I'd bought them as a gluten free option to make a cookie crumb crust for someone but found that I prefer them to regular wheat flour cookies for baking.

My favorite treat

I have a health condition called mast cell activation syndrome, which essentially makes my mast cells attack certain foods and cause anaphylaxis. I can tolerate these cookies, and it’s so amazing to be able to eat something that feels nostalgic, since I can no longer have the original oat meal cream pies that you find everywhere (the preservatives trigger me). Thank you Maxine’s Heavenly for providing me with a safe treat for special occasions!

AWESOME!

Peanut butter is my favorite and this peanut butter pie does not disappoint! If you like peanut butter, definitely give this a try. You will keep coming back for it over and over again!

Delightful!

I love the chewy texture and the distinct almond marzipan flavor. I'm so happy to have found it and there's no other almond cookie that can compare.

I'm in love 🥰

Her cookies definitely live up to their name! A-MAZ-ING!!!
