Wine and Candy Pairings to Die For

Posted by Personal Wine on October 15, 2018

 

Halloween is quickly approaching, and we all know what that means: it's time to expel our inhibitions. This is the one time of year when indulging in large quantities of candy isn't frowned upon, and the Personal Wine team fully supports your seasonal hedonism.
