A Romantic Treat—Wine and Chocolate
Looking for
an incredible gift for that special someone? Trying to create a romantic
atmosphere for a memorable evening? Nothing speaks romance better than wine and
chocolate. Pairing wine and chocolate can be tricky, but when you find the correct
combination the results are outstanding. Below are listed some basic guidelines to follow, but keep in mind that most of the fun in pairing
wine and chocolate is experimentation.
Start with
good quality chocolate - whether your preference is dark, milk or white
chocolate; be sure not to skimp on quality ingredients. Retailers now
specialize in chocolate specifically for
pairing with wine.
The darker
the wine, the darker the chocolate: this is a good guideline for a novice to
follow when shopping for your first wine and chocolate pairing; but feel free to
follow your own taste buds as you experiment with your favorite vintages. Red
wines typically pair well with dark chocolates; this is especially true of
full-bodied red wines. Here are some general recommendations for types of red
wines and chocolate:
Merlot -
dark chocolate or milk chocolate
Cabernet
Sauvignon - dark chocolate
Pinot Noir -
either dark or milk chocolate
Zinfandel
-dark chocolate
White wines
as a general rule will pair better with milk chocolate than dark. Types that
come to mind for chocolate pairings are:
Riesling
Sauvignon
Blanc
Chardonnay
As a general
rule the sweeter the chocolate the sweeter the wine so when you
consider white chocolate you may be relegated to the dessert wines and sherries.
We found port wine paired with dark chocolate to be a fine combination. No matter
which type of chocolate or wine you choose, remember to relax, sit back and
enjoy the flavors and sensations of a delightful experience which is chocolate
and wine. It’s so Sexy Too!!
