Are
you a “chocoholic” and wonder what wine works best with it? Normally, wine and
chocolate don’t mix. Chocolate has a real coating effect on the palate, with
which most wines can’t compete. However, there are some exceptions. Certain “New
World” Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz possess a chocolate note so they may work
together. Surprisingly, old Amarone provides an interesting partner. Sweet
wines tend to mesh better though. Dessert Muscat with its peachy character is
actually one of the best matches. Icewine also works. Bottle and wood-aged
ports do an admirable job. Even sweet bubbly stands up pretty well. Finally,
non-grape wines like strawberry or raspberry can hold their own with chocolate.
Enjoy!
