How to Pair Wine and Chocolate

Wine and chocolate are natural companions.
They both have complex flavors that complement each other like no other.

Follow these steps to melt the flavors of both the wine and the chocolate together.

Step 1- Note the aroma of the chocolate, check the shine and the glossiness.
Step 2-Swirl the glass of wine: be aware of the color and viscosity.
Step 3-Sniff the wine and note the bouquet and flavor components.
Step 4-Sip the wine: let it fill your mouth. Notice the wine's complexity, which flavors come to mind. Now take a small bite of chocolate, let it sit on your tongue. Just when it begins to melt, sip the wine again and swirl together with the chocolate.
Step 5-Note how the flavors are released in stages. First notes should be filled with fruity acidity. The middle stage should be a sweet phase and the last note should be identified by the tannins.
