What wine with Girl Scout cookies?

Yes, it's that time of year again. Time for those delicious, fattening, and over-priced cookies being sold by the cutest little darlin's.

This, of course, begs the question, "What wine to have with your favorite Girl Scout cookie?"

Well, there are lots of different kinds and everyone has a favorite. I'm partial to Samoas (caramel, coconut, chocolate) and Tagalongs (peanut butter and chocolate).

I believe there are two main categories of wines that should cover most of the different cookies--Sparkling and Port-style. I'm thinking the Samoas are made for Port; the Tagalongs should work with either Sparkling wine or a Port. Maybe go with the bubblies if you're eating them before dinner--definitely if you're eating them for breakfast. After dinner go with the Port. The Thin Mints might be a bit of a problem. Maybe a Cabernet with those or you beer lovers could have a Porter.

There, another food/wine pairing dilemma solved!
