The Boozy Blondes are back with a festive (and super gluttonous) way to make the most of your holiday candy leftovers…by turning that stash into a full-on wine pairing experience. Since it was recently Easter, the girls had a huge assortment of Easter candy to pair with multiple bottles of wine – think about all that sugar…and booze!

Once again, the girls did what they do best: mixing a little indulgence with a lot of fun. Instead of letting those extra sweets sit untouched, they’re giving listeners a creative and delicious way to “recycle” holiday candy. Whether it’s from your own stash or casually “borrowed” from kids, nieces, nephews, neighbors, coworkers, or even parents, nothing is off-limits.

To elevate the experience, they’re joined by a special guest, Wild Bill, the self-proclaimed Candy Connoisseur, who helps guide the tasting and adds his own flair to the pairings.

Together, they explore combinations like bubbly Prosecco with sugary Peeps, crisp Pinot Grigio with jellybeans, and bold Cabernet Sauvignon with Reese’s peanut butter eggs. Along the way, they remind listeners that wine pairing doesn’t have to be complicated or pretentious; it’s all about finding what tastes good to you. And the girls found some surprisingly delicious combos they didn’t expect!

They also share helpful wine substitutes for each category, making it easy to recreate the experience no matter what’s in your wine rack. From sparkling alternatives like Cava to bold reds like Malbec, there’s flexibility built into every pairing.
