Chocolate | wine| Riedel Challenge
Whether you prefer dark, milk, or white chocolate, even thinking about it can bring a smile to your face. Complementing our wine tasting, we will journey through the rich history of chocolate, discovering how historical practices and traditions have shaped the way we savor it today.
The philosophy behind grape varietal specific glasses is akin to a carpenter building a house: you wouldn’t use a hammer to tighten a screw or a screwdriver to cut wood. Different wine varieties have distinct characters and flavor profiles, and the size and shape of the vessel—whether a Riedel glass or a plastic cup—alter the way your senses perceive the wine. To delve deeper into this philosophy, we will pair each glass of wine with an African origin chocolate truffle, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that highlight the unique qualities of both.
This immersive event promises to deepen your appreciation for fine wines and chocolates, offering insights into their perfect pairing. Savor the experience with wines and chocolates from Africa, Europe, and Asia. You will be treated to an informal but educational chat about the origins and makeup of chocolate, making this a truly enriching and delightful experience.
