Wine Pairings: Passport to Pleasure

Blommer Chocolate Co. pairs its fine-flavor chocolates with a range of wines, demonstrating how the interplay of flavors enhances the tastings of both.

September 18, 2012

Blommer Chocolates Rainforest Alliance Certified Organic 72% Dark Chocolate  with 2009 Clos de los Siete Red Winebloom2

Rainforest Alliance Certified Organic 72% Dark ChocolateThis is a semi-sweet dark chocolate with 72% cocoa mass made from the most wholesome organic ingredients. It has delicate brown fruit, chocolate impact with a mild fruity acidity.

Blommer Chocolate’s Rose Potts’ Chocolate Notes:  Slight brownie notes with threshold acidity and a moderate cacao level. Very “eatable.”

2009 Clos de los Siete Red Wine, Mendoza, Argentina:  The 2009 Clos de Los Siete is a blend of 56% Malbec, 21% Merlot, with the balance Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 11 months in one-third new French, one-third second use barrels, and one-third in vat. It offers up an expressive nose of cedar, spice box, brier, floral notes, and assorted black fruits

 Candy Industry:  The earthy, tannic notes in the 2009 Clos de Siete easily complement the slight bitterness in Blommer’s 72% semi-sweet RA-certified organic dark chocolate. The bodied blend of Malbec, Merlot and Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon found in the Clos also enhance the sweetness of chocolate, bringing it to the forefront of the flavor experience. It’s a decadent pairing perfect for an evening by the fireside.  No need for marshmallows.
