- Get your Girl Scout cookies!
- And wine!
- I'm back with my girl Elise and we are pairing wines again
but this time with everyone's favorite, Girl Scout cookies.
We're gonna tell you which box of cookies
goes with which box of wine.
- It's a dream come true.
- We're so clever.
(upbeat music)
- I feel like we should just dive right in,
I mean should we start with most popular?
- Let's go for it.
- The most popular is the...
Thin Mint.
- It used to be my favorite, stick 'em in the freezer
and then what do you do?
You eat a whole sleeve.
That's usually how it works.
- That used to be the serving.
Speaking of sleeve...
- It got smaller!
- That sleeve used to be like, that long.
I guess we could still eat a whole sleeve then.
Okay so let's talk about box one.
They've come a long way, you know, it's not just Franzia.
Now you can get good quality ones
and I did a little research, you know it's good
for people that don't finish
a bottle of wine every time you open it.
(cricket noises)
We wouldn't really relate to that fact.
Anyway, but they stay fresh for a long time
and you get a better value.
- More bang for your buck.
- And they come in all different sizes now.
Remember like Franzia used to be like that big--
- Huge!
- Gallon.
But now they have these little ones
that are two bottles of wine
and then they have the single servings.
This is good for transportation.
- Yes.
- Here's the thing, it's hard to pair mint with wine.
- I'm thinking a red.
- A Merlot?
- Yes.
It's been awhile since I've had a Thin Mint,
it's pretty good.
I like that.
- I don't mind it.
- Were you thinking that a white
was gonna be good with a Thin Mint?
- Feel like maybe we should try the white.
- I say Pinot Grigio. - Yeah let's try that.
- It's kinda flavorful.
- I don't know, what do you like better?
We have eight wines and eight cookies.
I'm kinda thinking the white.
- That's what I was gonna say!
- Oh good!
- [Nicole] Pinot Grigio and Thin Mint.
- [Elise] Yay.
- Then we're off to a good start.
- Look how good we're being,
like we have our little piece of cookie.
- We didn't even finish it.
Heaven forbid we eat eight whole cookies.
- I've starved myself all day for this.
- (laughs) While we're at it we'll try to pair
the Merlot with something.
I still think I need chocolate.
- I agree. - Oh maybe the S'mores.
- Let's go for that.
- This is a newer one,
and I think they have different cookies
in different regions, okay so people if we don't hit
your cookie, don't get mad at us.
This is what they have in Alabama.
- Comment below and tell us what kind of cookie
that you have that we might not have.
- Look at her!
Comment below. She knows.
These are like five dollars a box.
- I was gonna say, they cost more.
- It's got your chocolate, your marshmallow,
and your graham cracker.
I kinda like these.
- It is kinda cute huh?
So we're gonna try to pair this with the Merlot?
- Mm-hmm.
Pretty good. - Pretty tasty.
I kinda think we could do a darker red with it.
'Cause it's really sweet. - Ooh.
Well let's try the Cab.
This is a sweet cookie, the filling is really sweet.
- I'm so right.
Much better don't you think? - Yeah.
I think it also has to do with the fact that this is Merlot.
- Are you more of a Cab?
- Yeah. - Yeah me too, okay.
- Like we like Cabs better, but...
- Right
- [Nicole] This is a good wine too.
It's pretty tasty don't you think?
- I think I might purchase it.
- Oh wait, what is your favorite cookie?
- These.
- Ooh, the lemon, Savannah Smiles.
That's your favorite?
- Isn't that crazy?
- Of all the Girl Scout cookies...
- I know like I'm obsessed with them.
My husband's like, why'd you buy so many boxes of those?
Nobody wants to buy those.
- Those go well with like hot tea.
- Hot tea.
- My favorite is the Tagalong.
- Because you're a peanut butter girl.
- Yes.
- I remember this from Halloween.
- Yes.
- 'Cause I was the Snickers and you were peanut butter.
Yep, not a fan just because--
- Really?
- [Elise] Too much peanut butter.
- Betcha gonna have some haters.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know.
- I'm definitely thinking white on this, aren't you?
- Um...
- Maybe a Rosé?
- I like that.
Good thing I lifted weights before.
I mean really we could make this a workout too.
- Start the box wine workout?
- You're on to something. - Could be a new thing.
- Y'all don't steal that, it's her idea.
Time-out.
What do y'all think of our Troop Beverly Hills hats we have?
♪ It's cookie time! ♪
♪ It's cookie time. ♪
- I don't know anything about that.
- She has forgotten the whole movie.
I mean I kinda like this.
- Let's try it with the red just to see.
- Ooh, the lift, the lift.
- Exactly.
- Take another bite.
- I like that better.
- Do you? - You like the Rosé better?
- I think so hold on.
Serious work.
You like the peanut better?
- Okay here's the deal.
- If you did, I'm okay with that
because this is your favorite cookie.
- I was gonna say, since this is my favorite cookie,
can I make the pair?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Should we talk about how involved we are
with our girl's Girl Scout Troop.
- Best cookie Mom's ever!
- We're just killing it.
Now we sell cookies on Facebook.
- But we let them make a video, and we post the video
so I mean they are putting themselves out there.
- I actually did make Stella go to at least 10 houses.
Then half of them weren't home
and half of them don't answer the door anymore.
That's the way our society is now.
It's like you can't even answer the door
for a little girl trying to sell cookies?
We did your favorite and now we'll do my favorite.
- Okay.
- The ole Tagalong.
I feel like we did Pinot Noir's with the Reece's Cups.
I kinda think a Chardonnay though.
I kinda like a Chardonnay - Let's do it.
- Y'all still wanna know about her Chardonnay story?
- I still don't have enough followers,
y'all need to be following me on Instagram.
I told you if I get to 3,000 followers
I would tell you the Chardonnay story.
- Chardonnay.
- Come on, say it the real way.
- Chardonnay.
- Yes!
- Thank you.
- You're welcome, let me get that for you.
Mm, so good.
Salty. Sweet.
It's kinda good
- Think you might've nailed that one.
- I think I might have tried this one before.
- Okay.
- Somewhere.
- You might be making me like this cookie.
- See!
Dang that's good.
- [Nicole] Chardonnay and Tagalong's.
- [Elise] That's good.
- I feel like when I was a Girl Scout
they were like two-fifty a box.
Now they're--
- Four, five dollars.
- They were three-fifty for a long time
and they just went up to four dollars.
Here's a question, what's the most you would pay
for a box of Girl Scout cookies?
- Ah!
- There's the price that you pay like,
'cause you have to buy some 'cause your daughter sells them,
- Right.
- And then there's just the price that some people pay
because they have been waiting all year
for these cookies.
Five is pushing the limit for me.
- Oh I won't do more than five.
- Oh, but you know what else can go good
with the Chardonnay?
- [Both] The Do-si-do's.
- Sorry I get excited when we think alike.
What about...have we done the Rosé?
- Oh we can do the Rosé, let's try the Rosé.
- Okay.
- I like a Do-si-do, you know,
it's kinda like an oatmeal cookies meets peanut butter.
♪ Do-Si-do, do, Ddd-doo, ddd-doo, do-do-do ♪
- From the movie?
- No, it's buttermilk biscuits,
- Oh.
- So you didn't think I know that kinda music,
and for more Sir Mix-A-Lots favorites,
follow me on Instagram.
- Mm, these are pretty good.
- Like maybe it'll make us like the Merlot more?
- Exactly.
I like the Rosé better.
- Me too. Okay good.
- Rosé and a Do-si-do.
Alright the Samoas, so we still have a Merlot,
we have a red blend, and the Franzia.
I will not do that to the Samoa,
so we're not even gonna bring out the Franzia yet.
Here's the thing, I don't like macaroons really.
- Me neither. - I don't like coconut cake.
- But these suckers--
- But these are good. - Good!
- Okay this is the...
- Red blend.
So I had this thought in the car,
if Twix came out with a coconut twix, it would be a Samoa.
- And just a hint of coconut, not--
- Twix just like two percent, that's all I need.
You can have it, two percent, hashtag not sponsored.
The Girl Scout's are not sponsoring this either.
Try it with the Merlot.
I don't know why we can't lose weight.
(laughter)
- It's better than the red blend.
- It is.
Because it's such a yummy cookie.
It's just perfect with this Merlot.
- Mkay.
The Merlot held out.
Okay, so now, we are down to two cookies,
and two wines.
How do you feel about the Trefoil.
'Cause this is like the insignia of The Girl Scouts.
- It's got a sash on it.
- Like the Girl Scout emblem is a Trefoil.
- These are my father-in-laws favorite.
- They're like Marlee's favorite.
I'm like not much to 'em.
I mean everybody likes a shortbread cookie but
- Now we have all the other Girl Scout cookies
- Sometimes I like to take the Trefoil
and put little Nutella on it.
- Of course you do.
- So hopefully this goes with the red blend.
They are pretty good.
- I know.
- A serving is five cookies!
- Oh my gosh I'm getting old, I just went...
- Oh you did do that!
- I just went like this. - I was like whoa!
- So five cookies is 160 calories,
so that's not bad.
- But like only two is 140 of Tagalongs.
- So you can have five of these.
- But I would be content with three.
(gulping)
- I think it was fine with this don't you.
- [Elise] Yes, yes.
- Okay.
We're knocking this one out.
This is my kinda thing, because,
like you don't have to make desserts
you just lay out all the Girl Scout cookies
put wine, have girls over.
- And our girls get to sell a bunch of boxes
'cause even if we have to buy 'em
- For the party. - For the party.
- It's still cheaper than making a dessert.
- Yes, and our daughters will like us more.
- We might have to do this.
- Did you sell all your cookies?
- See, I do the presale.
- Oh.
- She buys a bunch and then tries to sell them.
I don't have that confidence in my selection.
So, we go sell them first, and then that's it.
- That's actually really smart.
- Stella has like four days to sell them and that's it.
The final cookie is the gluten free option.
Look, bring out the Franzia,
when was the last time you had Franzia?
- Honestly, I've never had it.
I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding!
- I have a Franzia story.
This will require at least 5,000 followers.
That's all I'm gonna say.
I just wanna see what this tastes like.
If you drink white zinfandel you're either...
- 85.
(laughter)
- I was gonna say you're either underage or a grandparent.
A great-grandparent, like a 80 year old.
- Hmhmm.
- No offense Maw Maw.
(sniffing)
- Ooooh - Ooooh
(laughter) (gulping)
- Wow that's terrible.
(gagging) (laughter)
- Oh my gosh!
- So I was gonna give like the
worst cookie with the worst wine
but I don't even know if I can
give it to the Toffee Tastic.
- Why is that only like 10 in there?
- And this is the more expensive,
this is also five dollars a box.
Just because the cookies gluten free
doesn't mean it has to taste bad.
- No, there's a lot of good gluten free stuff out there.
- But I think these are just not that great.
Let me see, I've only tried them once.
The cookie is actually not as bad
as I remember it the first time.
- At least the toffee taste is pretty good.
- That is so nasty!
We just gotta pair the Toffee Tastic with something else.
- Yeah!
- Maybe the Cab again?
Just so we can drink it again?
- Yes!
(grunts) (laughter)
- Please, - It's so heavy!
- Please get that on camera!
The new exercise, the box wine.
- Here you go look,
One, two, three.
- That's good though.
- Oh my gosh that's like, we just burned a cookie.
We just burned a calorie.
- Alright so Toffee Tastic
It's just like sand just going straight in your mouth.
- It's sand.
- If you need help developing recipes for cookies
Girl Scouts, give me a call.
- I mean of course I like that.
- I kinda think...
- Rosé?
- Rosé is gonna be better with it though.
- I think that's better - That's pretty good.
So we had to double up on the
gluten free Toffee Tastic going with the Rosé.
- And I feel bad, like I'm not putting people
down that drink Franzia but it's just not...
- I am.
(laughter)
Do you think we earned a patch for this?
- Oh totally!
- Surely there's a patch.
Is there a patch for that? - Is there a patch for that?
- Patches, we don't need no stinkin' patches.
She doesn't remember that line either.
- But I like your accent.
- If y'all think Elise should watch Troop Beverly Hills
for the first time in 20 years
then comment below!
- I will do it.
- If they don't have a patch for cookie and wine pairing
then we will...
- We'll invent our own.
- But if you want to boost wine sales
listen to me wine people
pair them with Girl Scout cookies
and set your booth up next to
the girls outside of Wal-mart.
- Huh! Win!
- Win win!
I think we're getting more skilled in our wine
pairing abilities.
- I think so.
- You know we are not trained sommeliers
believe it or not.
- Look at that word she used!
- See, sommelier.
But I think we know a little something.
I mean I think we come up with some good pairings
so let us know in the comments below
what you would like to see us pair wine with next.
Or maybe you wanna see us pair vodka with things
'cause we're good at that.
(laughter)
and by we I mean me.
Ready for the new pledge?
- I'm ready.
- [Elise and Nicole] On my honor
I will try
- to like
- Comment
- And subscribe
- On Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
- Share this video and click the bell
and support your local Girl Scout troops.
Cheers!
(glasses clinking)
(patriotic music)
We've done the damage.
- It's like house party!
- Right!
It's like the Girl Scouts threw a house party.
- I was gonna say this is like the 40 year old house party
- Yeah
- Come have some cookies with us
- She ain't right, she ain't right
(upbeat music)
