The guide features five expert pairing ideas for how to match various Milano cookie flavors with your favorite wine—see below.

Milano Happier Hour Guide:

Double Dark Chocolate Milano cookies + Full-bodied Red

The extra bold notes of cacao in the dark chocolate make this the perfect pairing for a robust, full-bodied red such as a Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Milano cookies + Medium-bodied Red

A berry forward wine like a medium-bodied Pinot Noir with notes of ripe cherry will mimic the experience of enjoying a cherry-filled chocolate from your favorite variety box.

Milk Chocolate Milano cookies + Light-bodied Red or Rose

The crisp cookies filled with delicious milk chocolate pair perfectly with a smooth light-bodied red or glass of rosé.

Raspberry Milano cookies + Crisp White or Champagne

Layers of rich dark chocolate and bright raspberry flavor pair beautifully with a chilled glass of bubbly or crisp white wine.

Orange Milano cookies + White Blend

For a lighter pairing, a white wine with notes of citrus fruit and exotic spices are perfect for Orange flavored Milano cookies, bringing the orange flavor to the forefront.
