Great fun video, Peter. Blending jelly beans and wine is an unconventional idea that could result in a unique and fun culinary experiment. Here are a few steps to guide you through the process:
Select Your Jelly Beans: Choose jelly beans with complementary flavors to the wine you are using. For example, fruity jelly beans might go well with a sweet wine like a Moscato or a Riesling.
Blend the Ingredients: Place the jelly beans in a blender with the wine. Start with a small amount of jelly beans and gradually add more to taste.
Blend Thoroughly: Blend until the jelly beans are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining solid bits.
Chill and Serve: Chill the mixture in the refrigerator before serving. This blend can be served as a novelty drink or a fun dessert topping.
Enjoy your creative concoction responsibly!

Pairing jelly beans with wine may sound like an unusual combination, but it can actually make for an interesting and fun tasting experience if done thoughtfully. Here are some tips for pairing jelly beans with different types of wine: Dry White Wines (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio). Pair with tart/sour jelly bean flavors like lemon, lime, green apple. The high acidity in the wines can complement these flavors. Sweet White Wines (Riesling, Moscato). Try fruity jelly bean flavors like strawberry, raspberry, or peach. The residual sugar in the wines can balance the sweetness.
Light-Bodied Red Wines (Pinot Noir, Beaujolais). Cherry, pomegranate, or red berry jelly beans can bring out the red fruit notes in these lighter reds. Full-Bodied Red Wines (Cabernet, Zinfandel). Rich, dark fruit jelly bean flavors like blackberry, black cherry or blueberry can pair nicely with the bold flavors of these bigger reds.. Dessert Wines (Port, Sherry). Chocolate, coffee, or cream-flavored jelly beans can be a fun match with fortified dessert wines.
The key is to look for complementary flavor profiles between the wine and jelly beans. Salty or buttery jelly bean flavors may not work as well. Start with just a few jelly beans at a time so the flavors don’t get muddled. It makes for a unique tasting experience.
