The Ultimate Wine Pairings for Your Girl Scout Cookies, from Under $25

girl scout cookies with winegirl scout cookies with wine

When it comes to‘90s recipes and foods we were *obsessed* with as kids, no sweet treat is more ubiquitous than the Girl Scout cookie. These wholesome bites of goodness truly offer something for everyone, from S’mores to Thin Mints to Tagalongs and beyond (they even have vegan options now!). You know what we’re equally obsessed with now that we’re adults? WINE. So it’s only natural that we should combine our two great loves for a delightful food and wine pairing (and maybe a cocktail or two?). We spoke with winemaker Charles Smithto get the scoop on the absolute *best* wines to pair with America’s favorite cookies — and they’re all under $25.

S’mores

girl-scout-cookie-wine-pairing_smores

1. Domaine des Hospices De Belleville Morgon ($23): S’mores are one of the newest cookies to be added to the Girl Scout roster. They’re made with graham cookies, uber-creamy chocolate, and sweet, fluffy marshmallows, so they’d be perfect for munching on around a campfire. Pair them with something dark and sweet, like Domaine des Hospices De Belleville Morgon, available at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s.

Thin Mints

2. CasaSmith ViNO Rosso ($15): Thin Mints may be the most well-known GSC there is. These thin, minty gems are equally crispy and sweet, making them a truly delicious indulgence. Pair them with bold, deep reds, like a Brunello, Merlot or Pinot Noir. CasaSmith ViNO Rosso is a perfect choice.

Caramel Delites/Samoas

3. Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva ($19): These coconut-dusted, super-toasted cookies are packed with caramel and drizzled with chocolate, making them the perfect match for a good Rioja. Pick up the Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva at Trader Joe’s.

Tagalongs

4. Wines of Substance Cabernet Sauvignon ($14): The name may be a bit nondescript, but anyone who’s ever had a Tagalong knows EXACTLY what they are. These cookies are comprised of a chocolaty cookie enveloping a layer of gooey peanut butter for the ultimate PB-chocolate combo. Pair them with a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Tawny Port, such as Wines of Substance Cabernet Sauvignon.

Shortbread/Trefoils

5. Charles Smith Wines Eve Chardonnay ($13): There’s something super sweet and innocent about shortbread, which is one of the reasons Shortbreads are one of our absolute favorite GSCs. You’ll want something crisp, light and refreshing to a pair with these. Charles Smith Wines Eve Chardonnay, available at Trader Joe’s, is a perfect choice.

Do-si-dos

6. Wines of Substance Sauvignon Blanc ($24): With oatmeal on the outside and creamy butter inside, these are *almost* considered healthy. We’ll take it. Pair your Do-si-dos with a Sauvignon Blanc or a Zinfandel — our fave is Wines of Substance Sauvignon Blanc.

Lemonades

7. Kung Fu Girl Riesling ($10): If you’re a big fan of lemon dessert recipes, chances are you spring for Lemonades with GSC season comes around. These are light and delicate, so you’ll want to pair them with a sweeter wine, such as Riesling. Kung Fu Girl Riesling, which is stocked at Trader Joe’s but also at tons of other grocery stores, is light, refreshing and just sweet enough to pair well with these perennial favorites.

Savannah Smiles

8. CasaSmith ViNO Rosé ($15): Packed with zesty lemon flavor and topped with sweet powdered sugar, Savannah Smiles would be perfect with a good rosé. We personally love CasaSmith ViNO Rosé.

Thanks-A-Lot

9. Meimoi Pinot Noir ($11): These shortbread cookies come with a delicious layer of rich fudge on the bottom, so they’re generally the go-to favorite of chocolate lovers everywhere. As such, they’d go well with a Pinot Noir, such as Meimoi Pinot Noir.

Toffee-tastic

10. Apothic Red Blend ($8): Love toffee? Then you’re probably nuts about Toffee-tastics, golden, buttery cookies with tons of crunchy toffee bits. If you’re springing for these tasty treats, pair them with a Red Blend. We love the uber-popular Apothic ($11).

Trios

11. Charles Smith Wines Boom Boom Syrah ($14): Last but certainly not least, Trios boast the ultimate flavor combination: peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chips. And — bonus — they’re also gluten-free! The best pairing for these guys is a Dark Syrah, such as Charles Smith Wines Boom Boom Syrah ($17).

If you’re craving the weekly dramaGrey’s Anatomy season 21 regularly supplies outside of your weekly watch, Netflix is coming out with a show that aims to fill the void. Pulse, a medical drama series, follows the personal and professional lives of the doctors and staff at a Miami trauma center. Certainly Grey’s Anatomy-esque, if you ask me!

Here are all the details on Netflix’s newest medical drama Pulse, starring Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, and Justina Machado (and more!)

Check Out The ‘Pulse’ Trailer Now.

Now that’s how you do a trailer! A steamy workplace romance coupled with the drama and intensity of working in Miami’s busiest level 1 trauma center = a happy gal over here. From the trailer alone, I can tell this is a fresh take on the average medical drama, boasting more energy and intensity from its leading cast and script. As if I really needed another show to binge, I have a feeling I’ll binge this series fast.

What is the new series Pulse on Netflix?

Jeff Neumann/Netflix

The TLDR: A group of ER residents navigate medical crises and personal drama while dealing with a scandalous allegation at their Miami hospital. The longer, more detailed version, for those who are curious and want the full story: Danielle, who goes by Danny, is in her third year of residency and is unexpectedly promoted after the hospital’s chief resident, Dr. Xander Phillips, is suspended. Danny and Phillips must work together as word of their secret fling begins to spread around the hospital like wildfire. To add fuel to the fire — pun intended — a hurricane hits Miami, flooding the ER with trauma cases (sorry, that one was unintentional).

​Who else will be starring alongside Willa Fitzgerald?

Anna Kooris/Netflix

The Pulse cast has some truly awesome names, including:

  • Willa Fitzgerald as Danielle "Danny" Simms: Our seemingly fearless protagonist and leader who doubles as a third-year resident on Maguire Medical Center’s medical team.
  • Colin Woodell as Dr. Xander Phillips: Danielle’s beau and the chief resident at Maguire — aka her supervisor. Thank you, Danny, for the inevitable drama I know this relationship will cause. Hey, what can I say? It’s going to make for great TV!
  • Justina Machado as Natalie Cruz: Natalie's the chair of surgery and emergency medicine, who's over both administration and medicine.
  • Jesse Yates as Harper Simms: A second-year emergency medicine resident who just so happens to be Danielle’s younger sibling.
  • Jesse T. Usher as Sam Elijah: A third-year emergency medicine resident.
  • Jack Bannon as Tom Cole: A second-year surgical resident.
  • Daniela Nieves as Camila Perez: One of Danielle’s colleagues, also a third-year resident.
  • Chelsea Muirhead as Sophie Chan: A surgical intern.
  • Santiago Segura as Gabriel Moreno: An ER nurse and team player.
  • Ash Santos as Nia Washington: A Miami-Dade County EMT.
  • Néstor Carbonell as Dr. Ruben Soriano: The feared senior surgeon.
  • Arturo Del Puerto as Luis Dominguez: The ER’s Charge Nurse.
  • Jessica Rothe as Cass Himmelstein: A charming senior ER nurse.

​Where and when can I binge Pulse?!

Jeff Neumann/Netflix

The 10-episode series will stream exclusively on Netflix starting April 3, 2025.

​Where was Pulse filmed?

Netflix

Though set in the heat of Miami, Florida, Pulse was filmed 2,000 miles west in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Now, I’m fascinated and simultaneously excited to see how they’ve recreated the vibrant, beachy vibes of Miami using the desert landscape Albuquerque has to offer!

Pulse just proves that Medical Dramas Are SO Back. Here Are 21 You Can Stream Right Now!
