Wine Pairing with Chocolate
There are a few rules for pairing wine with chocolate.
- The wine should be sweeter than the chocolate
- Choose similar flavors in both the wine and chocolate.
- Match lighter flavored chocolate with lighter-bodied wines and more intense-flavored chocolates with more full-bodied wines. “Lighter” means the overall flavor of the chocolate.
- Choose what you like, you are the final critic in what your tastes are.
- Fully saturate your mouth with the wine, then the chocolate, and the wine at the end.
