A couple of contrasting posts on MyWineDaily at the moment about this intriguing subject, as producers get ever more adventurous with the product flavours they come up with in beers,wines or spirits. Also the food matching possibilities they would like us to explore. There’s an example of each, one a new wine product, the other a traditional wine – Port – that is recommended with chocolate.
Although we’ve noticed the ‘Rubis‘ brand of wine with chocolate flavour, we haven’t tried it yet. It seems to be dividing opinions, as it has won a Silver Medal at the IWSC (International Wine & Spirit Comp.), while The Cambridge Wine Blogger doesn’t think it works at all and recommends Port or Whisky with a good piece of chocolate instead.
Vinspire went along to Churchill’s Port House, who were doing tastings of Ports with food other than just cheese, and loved them! This was part of London Wine Week which goes on until the weekend. Is Port becoming as trendy as Sherry?
