With Valentine's Day just around the corner, pairing wines with sweets for your sweet can be of great importance. Be sure the wine is sweeter than the food, or a good relationship could get quite bitter.
Here's a suggestion, get a bottle of red ice wine (Cabernet Franc is good) and pair it with some dark chocolate. Better yet, cut up some strawberries and dip them in a chocolate fondue for a perfect paring. Red ice wine loves to be paired with chocolate in general. Add strawberries to capture the flavor of strawberries in the wine.
Enjoy Lovers!

Hard to beat wine and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI bought the Tawse Cabernet Sauvingnon ice wine and it was delicious! A really nice balance of sweet, acid and juicy flavours.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend gave me a lovely Sauternes for Christmas and I want to pair it for a Valentine's dinner. What would you suggest to cook for a main course? Dessert will be some lovely blue cheeses and dark chocolate.
Hi Rebecca, I responded in a new post.
