Wine Pairings for Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas & Port?

You know you're probably going to down a few boxes this cookie season, so let our double expert - a restaurant publicist and scout troop leader - match your favorite type with a compatible vino.

Back by popular demand we reprise our Girl Scout cookie-and-wine pairings, from Patch contributor Elizabeth Borsting, who knows her way around fine dining.

She's a publicist for restaurants, destinations and national hotel chains and, not coincidentally, a volunteer Girl Scout troop leader who starts each cookie season with a trunk load of easily 50 boxes of cookies. A volunteer pusher, of sorts.

To help unload the last boxes a few years ago, Borsting came up with the Girl Scout cookie-compatible wine list. You would not want to drink a fine Cabernet with, say, Tefoils, now would you?

And since there's an app for everything, there's also a Girl Scout cookie locator. You can use the "Online Cookie Locator" to zero in on your neighborhood cookie booth: Just type in your ZIP code here. And for those of you who are on the move, there's even a free cookie locator app for your smartphone.

Thank Glenn E. Grab for taking the time to send an answer. I agree with you, it would be blue IRead More think. I would like to hear from someone who has the same problem, there are hundreds of boats with this spray. Now having said this, we have now come up with a more rational reason. It's the pollen, not bee pollen, but tree pollen. Makes sense as it does only happen once a year. Searching for answers, this makes a little better sense.
