Is there a more romantic, luxurious duo? Not from where we're sitting! But pairing wine and chocolate so the flavors enhance, rather than compete, can be a challenge. The secret is simple: try to match the intensity of the two components.
In general, crisp white wines pair best with white chocolate, smooth medium-bodied wines pair well with milk chocolate, and deep heavy-bodied red wines pair best with dark chocolate. The combinations are endless, and it can be fun to taste test your way to your favorite pairings! If you are tasting multiple pairings, remember to move from light to dark chocolate or light-bodied to full-bodied wine. This will help the flavors build rather than clash.
Everyone's palate is different, so we encourage you to experiment with different pairings to find your own favorite!
