When Grape Meets Bean
Would it be possible to mix a fine wine which finish a cosy meal and chocolate which is the official foodstuff of Valentine's Day?

This type of pairing wine and chocolate happened weekly this Feb as they called it Days of Wine and Chocolate at the Niagara area.
Would it be possible as well for matches that instead of bringing love, it would bring regret? This daring match occurred in 2007 between Andrew Peller signature Series Chardonnay Sur Lie with milk chocolate hazelnut and maaleta Winery's pairing of their Grape brain Rose with milk chocolate orange. It only implies that that the pairings aren't all dark chocolate with reds or sweeties though.
There is the supposed conching a formula turning gritty chocolate paste into smooth melt in your mouth delight and this is a well guarded secret. For this to be completely done, the chocolate must be high quality for the match to work. I discovered this when I did my own playing with wine and chocolate pairing with Anne Czaja, master chocolatier for Lindt and Sprungli of Switzerland.
First you start with having a look at the chocolate's appearance which should have a radiant shine. Then touch it cocoa butter softens at body temperature, so if it softens on your fingers it will do so luxuriously on your tongue. Listen for a crack noise when you break the bar. That's a suggestion of good texture. Smell it next to breathe in perfumes of maybe fruit, caramel, spice or cocoa naturally. Top quality chocolate will have intense scents. Eventually taste it by letting the chocolate melt on your tongue. It shouldn't stick to the palate or be rough. The flavours should be rich, sensuous and satisfying. Look for notes of vanilla, fruit, liquorice, spices, even tobacco as well as cocoa in the taste. Good chocolate has many dimensions as fine wine. These is the lesson I learned from Czaja which caused me to think of my private wine-sampling lectures in that it covered all five senses.
One thing I discovered which I hadn't got any idea before is dry white would marry so well with a confection. They both brought out the tastes of butterscotch and caramel in one another with the wine's Apple notes leaving the palate refreshed.

Dr. Jordan Lebel, a leading figure on the physiological aftermath of chocolate emphasized that the the more pleasure at the first bite, the less you are going to it. Put simply, buy top quality chocolate and slow down and savour it like a fine wine. Lastly, all mavens have one major piece of guidance : buy the best quality you can afford.
