Fall Wine and Chocolate Pairing (Virtual)
Category: Event Calendar
Date and Time for this Past Event
- Saturday, Sep 26, 2020 7pm - 8:30pm
Details
Join certified chocolate expert Dr Jessica Henderson as she leads a guided tasting and pairing of luxurious chocolate with two wines
In this class we will begin by discussing what sets craft chocolate apart from mass-marketed brands.
Craft chocolate makers start with premium, carefully sourced cacao beans to make chocolate with unique aromas and flavors- also known as terroir in the wine world.
We will then learn how to pair the chocolates with two suggested wines (which you must purchase).
I have chosen six different chocolates with distinct flavors to complement each wine.
We will cover some general guidelines then discover how breaking the rules can result in some extraordinary pairs as well.
Upon purchase you will receive access to the online event page with the Zoom access information and suggested wine list.
If purchasing the accompanying chocolate pairing kit you will be shipped 6 full size bars of craft chocolate from the following makers:
Dick Taylor Chocolate
French Broad Chocolate
Brasstown Chocolate
Manoa Chocolate Made in Hawaii
Amedei Tuscany
WM Chocolate
Your chocolate bar pairing kit will be enough for (at least) 4 people so feel free to invite some friends over to share your wine and chocolate with.
Then on September 26th we will all join together to learn, connect and enjoy!
