Chocolate and Wine…A Perfect Pairing
By: Stuart Levine
Published: February 13, 2010
Valentine’s Day brings to mind the stereotypical gifts: wine, flowers, or perhaps a box of chocolates. But what is amazing is that with just a slight alteration to this plan you can have a unique and fun Valentine’s Day that will wow your significant other—a wine and chocolate tasting.
Chocolate is a wonderful match for red wine. Whether the wine is big and dry, light and fruity, or even sweet, you can match chocolate to it for a wonderful tasting experience.
The chocolate has to be right
This is important. Don’t simply buy a candy bar at the store checkout, and definitely dump the idea of the heart-shaped box of assorted filled chocolates. You need to locate some nice, handmade chocolates for the best results.
First a quick lesson. Chocolate comes from the Cacao bean. These beans are fermented, roasted and pressed releasing Cocao solids (sometimes just referred to as Cocao) and Cocao butter. The latter is what makes chocolate creamy. The former lends the flavor characteristics and coloring. The higher the percentage of pure solids the most extracted flavor you get. Cocao solids also contain a high amount of antioxidants, making them somewhat healthy.
