CELEBRATING THE MONTH OF LOVE WITH
WINE AND CHOCOLATE
Of
all
the
food
and
wine
pairings
out
there,
chocolate
with
wine
is
undeniably
the
most
decadent,
making
it
the
perfect
treat
for
this
Month
of
Love.
Why
do
these
two
delicacies
go
so
well
together?
Other
than
being
downright
delicious
on
their
own,
they
both
have
a
variety
of
styles
from
opulent
to
rustic
that
work
seamlessly
with
both
matching
and
contrasting
flavors.
Sugar
and
alcohol?
It’s
a
no
brainer
if
you
ask
us.
So
how
do
you
pair
wine
and
chocolate
correctly?
Check
out
some
of
our
suggested
chocolate
and
Ancestry
wine
pairings to taste for yourself.
2017
Reminiscence
Riesling
+
Blood
Orange
Dark Milk Chocolate (KU’IA ESTATE MAUI)
The
classic
balance
of
sweetness
and
heightened
acidity
in
this
wine
makes
it
a
great
complement
to
dark
orange
chocolate.
Our
Riesling
opens
with
a
crisp
nose
of
apple
blossom
and
lemon.
On
the
palate
crisp
lime
is
pronounced
then
followed
by
a
softer
apricot
finish.
These
flavors
lend
themselves
well
to
citrus
and
chocolate.
We
will
be
pairing
our
Rieslings
with
KU’IA
Dark
Milk
Chocolate
Blood
Orange
in
the
tasting
room
all
month
long.
Stop
by
to
try
this
delectable
pairing
for
yourself.
2017 di Donato Sangiovese + Coffee
Hazelnut Bar (Grocers Daughter)
Pairing
a
medium
body
red
with
chocolate
and
nuts
is
a
tasty
idea.
The
bright
Bing
cherry
and
cranberry
notes
of
our
Sangiovese
are
a
lovely
complement
to
chocolate
with
coffee
and
hazelnuts.
Lighter
tannins
give
this
wine
a
soft
warming
mouth
which
further
enhances
your
wine
and
chocolate
experience.
We’ve
got
Coffee
Hazelnut
Bars
from
The
Grocers
Daughter
in
stock
in
our
tasting
room,
so
drop
by soon to scoop up this lovely pair.
2016 Provocant + Very Berry Bar (Grocers
Daughter)
Wines
with
strong
berry
notes
are
good
matches
for
fruit-accented
chocolate.
Our
Provocant
with
an
elegant
nose
of
currant,
cherry
and
a
palate
of
cranberry
and
bright
cherry
pairs
nicely
with
the
berry
and
chocolate.
The
40%
Cabernet
Sauvignon
in
this
blend
with
its
heavier
tannins
is
a
better
match
with
dark
chocolate
meanwhile
the
40%
Merlot
is
a
delicious
pairing
with
milk
chocolate.
It
is
really
up
to
personal
preference.
We’ve
been
pairing
Provocant
with
the
Very
Berry
Bar
from
The
Grocer’s
daughter,
and
the
cranberries
and
cherries
in
the
bar
pick
up
the
flavors
of
the wine beautifully.
2015 La Souer + Estate Dark Chocolate
(KU’IA ESTATE MAUI)
Our
La
Souer
is
luscious
and
fruit
forward
but
still
incredibly
versatile
with
light
acidity.
This
Merlot
blend
is
our
favorite
match
with
chocolate
as
its
hints
of
cocoa,
espresso
and
raspberry
paired
with
super
soft
and
supple
tannins
blend
beautifully
with
dark
chocolate
without
tasting
bitter.
Not
to
mention,
this
is
the
perfect
pair
to
enjoy
when
having
a
girls’
night, perhaps for your Galentines this year?
2016
Reserve
Cabernet
Sauvignon
+
Chocolate
Honey
Caramel
Truffles
(Grocer’s
Daughter)
Cabernet
Sauvignon
and
dark
chocolate…a
match
made
in
heaven!
It
works
because
the
chocolate
mellows
the
tannins
in
the
wine,
but
rich,
dark
Cabernet
Sauvignon
has
enough
fruit
and
structure
to
withstand
the
boldness
of
the
chocolate.
This
is
the
ultimate
classic
pairing.
The
robust
aromas
of
peppercorn
and
smokiness
combined
with
the
intense
bold
fruit
flavors
of
black
plum
and
cherry
stand
up
perfectly
to
dark
chocolate.
Throw
some
caramel
in
to
the
mix
to
dial
the
flavors
up
a
notch.
As
with
all
food
and
wine
pairings,
this
list
is
subjective
and
often
comes
down
to
your
own
taste
buds.
We
hope
this
is
a
helpful
guide
as
you
search
for
your
favorite
chocolate
and
wine
pairing
this
season!
We
look
forward
to
helping
you
in
our
tasting
rooms
soon
with
cellar
seating
for
tastings
in
Woodinville
and
limited
patio
seating
in
Manson
for
glass
pours,
bottle
service,
and
small
bites.
Both
locations
also
offer
online
and
in
person
pickups,
plus
phone
orders.
We
welcome
you
