Wine with Chocolate Tasting at Florida Builders

The most popular wine to be paired with this delectable aphrodisiac is Cabernet Sauvignon and normally I don’t like big heavy reds like Cabernet Sauvignon with chocolate dishes as they inevitably are too sweet for the wine and the first rule of pairing sweet food with wine is that the wine should be at least as sweet, if not a touch sweeter than the food.  Inevitably most chocolate dishes that are paired with a big Cabernet Sauvignon's that I have experienced seem to make the wine appear drier and not as enjoyable but for many this is a match made in heaven.  My research has left me with a bounty of choices for all different types of chocolates and I am very eager to try these out on you- my food and wine guinea pigs.  Tonight’s tasting will feature several different wines that go with different types of chocolate.

The presentation will be made classroom style and along with the various chocolate dishes served there will also be a variety of appetizers and cheese served to accompany the wines we will be sampling this evening. For reservations call 954-523-9463.
