Chocolate & Wine Pairing

Chocolate and Wine Pairing
One of the most difficult things to do is to create a dining concept that is completely new, something that has never been done before. Dessert Specialists has developed a chocolate and wine pairing experience that is exactly that.

Normally when we do a chocolate and wine pairing, we drink red wine and eat pieces of dark chocolate. What could be better? Imagine this; each guest gets three glasses of wine, let’s say a Rose’, a Syrah and a Cab. Dessert Specialists will hand craft three chocolates for each glass of wine, each perfectly matching the flavor profile of the wine.

For example; let’s say the Syrah has a black fruit and spice flavor profile. For that wine, Dessert Specialists will create three chocolates with three distinct ganach fillings to match the flavors in the wine. One may be a cherry, the second may be blackberry and the third may be bittersweet chocolate and black pepper.
After giving the Syrah a sniff, a swirl and taste, you taste the cherry chocolate. You then go back to the Syrah. Now the flavors just build on each, other dancing on your palate and you do this for each of the chocolate and wines in order.

The finale of the wine and chocolate pairing is the Mudslide and coffee. The Mudslide is the first of our Adult Cake line.  The Mudslide has Baileys’, Vodka and Kahlua. We’ve created this amazing, un-forgettable, five- layer multi-textured cake and incorporated these three liquors in the cake. The Mudslide is served with a cup of coffee with Kahlua.

This chocolate and wine pairing is truly a unique and innovative dining and educational experience. This amazing experience works well for intimate groups of 6-10 to larger groups of 100 or more. The concept is versatile. We could start with a chocolate demonstration, move into the pairing or opt for an easy going format where guest informally network or socialize.
