These are Bruno’s top recommendations for wines to go with some of your favorite Christmas cookies:
- Almond Crescent Cookies- Something “soft and fruit forward,” like an Italian pinot grigio helps to balance the flavors.
- Butter Cookies- These rich cookies pair perfectly with a crisp, bubbly Prosecco.
- Chocolate Chip Cookies- Keep it simple with a less intense red, like a pinot noir, which has flavors of dark berries and spice that work well with semi-sweet chocolate.
- Gingerbread Cookies- This classic holiday treat goes nicely with a semi-dry Riesling or a seasonal red like Beaujolais Nouveau [[boh-zhuh-LAY new-VOH]], which balances the ginger and molasses flavors of the cookie.
- Chocolate Crinkles- A cabernet sauvignon is an “excellent choice” for pairing with the sweet, rich chocolate.
- Snickerdoodles- Enjoy these tasty cinnamon spiced cookies with a bubbly Spanish Moscato that will make the cookie seem less sweet.
