I’ll take your wines and skip those creatures! Peeps and candy corn were my candy nemesis growing up!!!

I actually really love peeps. Circus peanuts and candy corn, too! The first half of this article was essentially me lying with the truth ;)

If you put Peeps in the microwave, they explode quite furiously.

This has truly nothing to do with pairing and barely anything to do with this post, but it is fun to watch.

It's all fun and games until you have to clean up the bodies you tore apart with your lawnmower. (Apologies to Braindead/Dead Alive.)

Brilliant, the notion of a Peep pairing is adroitly dismissed with grand contempt, but then you pivot to the cheerful vermouth and Peep parties being held in dollar store parking lots across the continent!

Viva wormwood!

For 90% of this article I had literally no idea what you are talking about 🤣

(Basically everything except Sunday roast and Chablis!)

What? No Peeps in Europe? It's almost worth putting up with Trump to stay here in America and have my Peeps (no no no, not even a little bit, I shouldn't even joke about that!)

No peeps, no goats! At least, not that kind! But seriously, my husband is American so we're gonna have to come over at some point soon and I am genuinely terrified...

I would like to say anything besides "You should be" or "Jesus, good ****ing luck" but unfortunately, that's about all we have to offer on that front since we are 98% a lawless country right now. It's a shitshow of the highest magnitude, but at least you're white and Nordic and not Canadian. Somehow, right now, y'all seem to be faring the best out there.

I hear about Europeans being detained at the border too, but indeed, amongst the foreigners I guess I'm one of the lucky ones... The American wine writers of Substack do give me some hope, though. Or at least remind me that there are still a lot of sane people out there - albeit they're not the ones in charge.
