Pairing Chocolate with Wine

Once taboo to combine chocolate and wine, the two flavors are now a welcome taste adventure. U.S. consumers continue to become better acquainted with fine chocolate and wine in general, and enjoy pairing chocolate with wine.

Pairing fine chocolate with wine is not only acceptable but is also chic! Guests are invited over for tastings and mingling, a nice social outlet to enjoy not only company but also chocolate with wine.

Wondering where you should start? The following is a list of what chocolate goes with what wine:

To Pair Fine Chocolate With Wine 

• Pair white chocolate with Champagne, Riesling, and Moscato/Dessert wines.

• Pair milk chocolate with Pinot Noir, light bodied Merlot, Riesling, and Moscato/Dessert wines.

• Pair dark chocolate with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Port, light-bodied Merlot, Shiraz, and Zinfandel.

If having a dinner party or other function where you wish to pair wine with chocolate, and are using a Chocolate Fountain, use a fine chocolate. A high end chocolate will be rich and delicious, packed with cocoa butter and other natural ingredients, delivering a more decadent experience and will better compliment your wine.
