The Best Combinations of Chocolate and Wine According to the Sommelier
There is nothing more romantic than wine and chocolate when combined correctly. Here are some helpful tips from an expert in the field.
In this video, Madeleine Puckett , sommelier and founder of Wine Folly , shares her preferences for great chocolate and wine pairings. For basic chocolates, especially dark chocolates, Puckett offers a pleasant sweet port. If you prefer chocolate cakes, muffins, and the like, grab a bottle of shiraz. And if you’re more of a white chocolate fan – which isn’t really chocolate, but still – dry sauvignon blanc will elevate the vanilla flavor of white chocolate to an irresistible fruitiness. Of course, if you are gravitating towards basic items from the candy range , there are many other pairing suggestions .
