I’m turning into a wine-o, and I’m ok with that.
I’m not a raging alcoholic by any means, but wine is
definitely a friend of mine. So is dark chocolate. And when you combine the two, marvelous
happens. Sipping a glass of chocolate
zin, your eyes involuntarily close, and for a few seconds your taste buds
linger on the delicate essence of cocoa mixed with deep tones of red wine.
This particular wine is commonly consumed after a lunch or
dinner meal, as it is a sipping dessert wine.
If you ask about pairing this wine with food, you may not have much luck
getting an answer. But in all honesty,
I’d have to hit you if you DID try to pair it with anything other than your
mouth. Its flavor it too heavenly to
waste mixing with other foods.
I’d have it after dinner every night if I could. My wallet would be screaming in pain,
though. Any chocolate zin, while a bit
more expensive, is definitely worth the splurge if you have never tried it
before. And it’s a double whammy in
relation to nutrients. You’ve got the antioxidants from the chocolate AND the
red wine. You can check “eat healthy”
off of your daily to-do list because in a small glass of this potion you’ll be
fighting cancer causing agents in the body.
I never thought fighting would be this easy, or enjoyable ;)
That sounds delicious! My neighbor brought over a blackberry and chocolate wine one night. That was the strangest taste ever and really not very good. She decided to cut it with some ginger beer (think rootbeer with a hint of ginger). I thought she was crazy but it actually was drinkable.
