Chocolate. With a little creativity, it goes pretty much with anything. It can be paired with beer, cognac, bourbon, and of course, wine.
Can it be paired with glass?
Cellar360 proves that chocolate can indeed be paired with wine and glass by dipping a bottle of port-like wine in an artisan, Napa chocolate.
According to Sales Manager Susan DeMatei, “As retailers, we need to go the extra mail to provide something truly unique to gain their business...when we thought, ‘how cool would it be to dip the entire bottle in chocolate?’”
Perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day.
