There's a lot that can be paired with wine.
You've got cheese, you've got chocolate and then there are specific entrees that determine which wine would complement your meal.
But cookies?
Well, the folks at Barefoot aren't exactly going for a pairing as much as they are a blend with their new release coming on Thursday, Dec. 9, inspired by none other than the popular Oreo cookie.
Barefoot announced on their Twitter page Tuesday noting that it's a red wine with hints of cookies and cream giving tasters a small taste of Oreo Thins.

"Everyone knows that red wine pairs well with chocolate, but Oreo Thins and America's most loved wine, Barefoot Wine, are collaborating to take this classic combination to a whole new delicious level," Sydney Kranzmann, Oreo Thins brand manager, told USA Today.
While the amount of bottles produced is unknown, Barefoot says the wine is a limited release.
Bottles cost $24.99 and can be purchased at Barefootwine.com/oreothins. Orders include two bottles of wine and a package of Oreo Thins.
