Taste the Wine, Then the Chocolate
(1) Start by tasting the wine, allowing its flavors to fully saturate your mouth.Then take a bite of the chocolate, letting it slowly melt on your tongue.
(2) Sip the wine once again, and you might never consider having one without the other ever again!
San Antonio Champagne & White Chocolate
White chocolate, though not a true chocolate due to its absence of cacao, is a super-sweet blend of sugar, milk and cocoa butter. Try a sec or demi-sec Champagne, or the hint of orange in a muscato. Other good pairings for white chocolate include Rieslings and Gewürztraminers.
Jonesy Tawny Port & Milk Chocolate
Remember rule one and choose a sweeter wine than chocolate, or the pairing might leave your mouth tasting like a rubber band. For milk chocolate, your best match might just be a sweet and tasty tawny port. But if you find the right bottle of pinot noir, you won't be disappointed.
Rutherford Ranch Cabernet &
Semisweet Dark Chocolate
With tones that are nutty, spicy, or earthy, semisweet dark chocolate has a balanced and less sweet aftertaste than milk or white chocolate. Cabernets or Bordeauxs will tend to bring out any fruity or peppery nuances in the chocolate, while a ruby port is considered a classic pairing with semisweet chocolate.
Bogle Old Vine Zin &
Bittersweet Dark Chocolate
Their bitter, roasted flavoring is so intense, that it really needs a strong red wine to balance the taste. Either that or a really yummy cookie. Zinfandels are the go-to when it comes to pairing wine and bittersweet dark, but you might also find an Australian shiraz or a Spanish grenache to be a suitable companion.
