Valley Vines by Sarah Harrold

(Page 11)

Chocovine

When helping customers pick out a bottle of wine, I will give my recommendations based on which foods, if any, will be consumed along with it. A very easy rule to follow is, red wines pair best with red meats and white wines pair best with white meats. However, I always remind customers that wine pairing is ultimately a personal preference.

The easiest thing to pair wine with is chocolate. It tastes great with a sweeter white or your favourite bubbly, but is amazing with any red! Red wine and chocolate paired together is considered by me as a little piece of heaven.

So what happens if you take these two amazing products and combine them together into one? Well, you end up with an amazing product called Chocovine. A tantalizing blend of French Cabernet and rich dark Dutch chocolate.

Dark chocolate is known to lower your blood pressure, both red wine and chocolate are rich in antioxidants. The finished product of Chocovine is also gluten free, which makes it a healthy “treat” when enjoyed in moderation.

With fourteen percent alcohol and the taste of a chocolate liqueur, enjoy Chocovine on the rocks, or as the main ingredient in many delicious cocktails.
