What wine goes well with pop-tarts?

Answer 1

There are too many variables to provide a definitive answer to which wine to pair with a pop-tart. The variables of the pop-tart all have to be taken into consideration. Is it a fruit filling? Is it chocolate filling? Is it Brown Sugar Cinnamon (my favorite!)? Is it frosted or not? Is it being served at room temperature or nicely toasted? I find a nice white apple wine is perfect with the brown sugar cinnamon ones, dry is certainly better than too sweet a wine. Most plain fruit pop-tarts work well with a good blush, white zin being a favorite. When toasted, a slightly stronger flavor is necessary to counter act the slight bitterness of the crunchy crust. The stronger chocolate pairs well with a good burgundy and might make a nice complement to a strong port, but I confess to not having given that a try.
Suggested pairings for Pop-Tarts:

• Boone's Farm -I believe that the Boones Farm brand was practically made for the Tart-wine pairing. Who could resist the sweet taste of Boone's farm strawberry wine together with a double strawberry Pop Tart, toasted or not, one just brings out the fruity goodness of the other. The Apple wine is a sure thing with a cinnamon or apple/cinnamon toaster confection. I believe that Shasta boasts an equally impressive line up of taste varieties to pair with the breakfast delight for the underage group.

• Sangria -I think a sweet fruity wine would be good for a dessert type of food. Sangria is a possibility.

• Gewürztraminer -A Gewürztraminer may be a good choice because it has a full-body and slightly spicy flavor that might compliment a fruity dessert. But it would have to be a sweeter one, as the drier ones are better with sausages.
