Hmmm ... chocolate and wine together.


What wine to serve when you're feasting on chocolate?

Chocolate loves a richer, more complex wine that will bring out the flavours and aromas of both. Pair a full-bodied cab sav or zinfandel with dark chocolate. A light merlot or sweet, complex, late-harvest riesling drinks beautifully with milk chocolate.

To add an element of pure decadence create a berry and dark chocolate fondue or poach pears and drizzle them with tempered dark Belgian couverture. In my view darker is always best. Luxuriate in the taste explosion on your palate - and wear your best nightie ;-)
