Barefoot Made Oreo Wine

 

Barefoot Wines teamed with Oreos to create a limited edition red wine blend that supposedly had hints of chocolate and cream. While I'm no sommelier, Oreos certainly grab the attention of Snacktion News. Before we get to the wine segment of this show, let's talk Oreos for a minute with Amber Hllywa. 

MTD: Amber, welcome to the team. Hang on, I have a Twitter alert. That's going to HR. 

MTD: Amber, when you hear Oreos, what's you're immediate reaction?

AH: They're the only store bought cookie worth eating.

MTD: They have millions of flavors. Classic, double stuff, golden or something off the grid? I think s'mores is on our opening credits.

AH: Classic then mint when it's not Girl Scout season. I don't even like the filling that much.

MTD: That's a hot take. I eat the filling with a spoon out of a paint bucket. It's not socially acceptable so I do that in the Oreo filling room of my house in private.

MTD: When you think about Oreos, how long is it before you think "this needs wine?"

AH: Never? Cookies and wine don't seem like they go together.

And that brings us to Barefoot x Oreos. Why? Oh, it sold out immediately. I didn't pay attention in marketing. We couldn't get our hands on a bottle here at Snacktion News but our R&D department came up with this...

After they showed me how to use the blender. You have to plug it in. They don't teach you that at journalist college. The end result was this.

Now, I had my trepidations but once you've already blended the Oreos and wine together. That's the end of the sentence.

So, as I sat down with my home blend of Oreo wine, I had to find a nice pairing for it. Anybody? Yeah, that would be a tough guess for anyone. It's Pepperidge Farm Chessmen. As I swirled and sniffed, Snacktion Reporter One, Nicole Amstutz called in.

NA: Describe it like you work in a restaurant.

MTD: I haven't. Okay, let me try it. Very pushy, Nikki.

MTD: The color is a nice deep red with swirling foam. Taste. Yes, you can taste the Oreo. It adds a nice richness to a $10 bottle of Barefoot. Should I blend cookies in everything? Maybe my philosophy should now be yes?

NA: Sounds like a "nom"

Viewer, instead of bidding $90 on ebay for this Barefoot Oreo wine, just send us $30 and I'll funnel some of my home blend into a bottle for you. I'll sign it and number it so it's still a limited edition.
