Oh, don’t ignore the cookie. These geeks will complain no matter what you do. I have never assumed you were posting a note on the wine with dessert.

Maureen speaks truth to power.

I am eating a rather large and sugary gingerbread cookie with a bottle of Coudert 2023 "Tardive" and it's matching beautifully: they're all warm years now so there's plenty of sweet fruit to match the sweet dough (with additional sugar crystals on the outside) and the ginger-allspice flavors pick up the peppercorn / tea / earthy notes in the wine.

Interesting. I've found ginger cookies, especially molasses-laced, to be quite tasty with porter or stout, but never considered wine.

I was expecting to put the cookie aside but became intrigued after trying them together.
