SPECIAL CHOCOLATE WINE SELECTION IN 6 BOTTLES
Some wines go very well with chocolate desserts, or simply with the various chocolates made by our artisan chocolatiers. I've put them together in this mixed box.
Yes, it may come as a surprise, but yeast veil wines can make a very fine marriage with certain dark ganaches, especially when they contain spices (curry or chili). Red rancio wines bring a sweeter touch to chocolate desserts.
