EASTER – PAIRING WINE & CHOCOLATE
Pairing wine and chocolate can be a contentious point for wine lovers. The rich, bold tastes of both can make marrying them difficult. In order to make sure you get the maximum enjoyment from the consumption of both. Here are a few ideas to help simplify the complicated business of this pairing.

MILK CHOCOLATE – Pair with Port, Sherry, Banyuls, Pinot Noir
WHITE CHOCOLATE – Pair with Champagne, Riesling, Muscat, Fruity Chardonnay
DARK CHOCOLATE – Pair with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barolo, Chianti
CARAMEL FILLED CHOCOLATE – Pair with Madeira, Meursault, Pinot Noir
DARK CHOCOLATE MINT – Pair with Port, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon
DARK ORANGE CHOCOLATE – Pair with Red Bordeaux, Vendange Tardive, Madeira

Basic wine and chocolate pairing rules include:
1.The wine should be as sweet as the chocolate.
2.Begin pairing by colour. The darker the chocolate, the darker the wine.
3. When possible, opt for a high-quality chocolate bar.
4. Consider texture as well as taste.
