Chocolate and wine – they were basically made for each other. Celebrate World Chocolate Day on July 7 by picking out a Carlos Creek wine that pairs perfectly with your chocolate of choice. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites for you.
White Chocolate
Think Piña Colada! The notes of pineapple in the Wobegon White bring out the creamy, nuttiness in the white chocolate – almost giving the pairing a slight coconut note.
Milk Chocolate
The acidity of the raspberry wine cuts through the milk chocolate fat making it a lively, flavor-bomb pairing.
Dark Chocolate Sea Salt & Caramel
The toasty notes of the caramel bring out the oak notes in the wine, as the slight sweet and fruit in the wine smooths out the bitterness of the dark chocolate.
Dark Chocolate
The sweetness of the port cuts through the bitterness of the dark chocolate while the earthy, toasty notes of the port bring out the earthy, fruity notes in the chocolate.
Do you have a favorite Carlos Creek wine you’ve paired with chocolate? We’d love to hear your combinations!
