Dessert Wine Pairing
Dessert and wine… what an indulgence! But is can also be simple.
In most cases, dessert brings to mind something sweet – and dessert wines are generally no exception.. Many wines are rich enough that they can be the dessert all by themselves… or they can be paired with something that we might not always think of as dessert – a selection of cheeses, for example..
The main point if you are going to match wines with a sweet dessert is that you want the wine to be sweeter than the food. Otherwise the sweetness in the dessert will make the wine taste less than ideal. One of the most interesting aspects of dessert wines can be the richness of their flavors and the fruit flavors that they bring forward. Vidal and Vignoles, for example can exhibit wonderful pear, apricot or pineapple notes, and so pair very nicely with fruit based desserts If chocolate is our favorite for dessert you have a broad range of wines to select form… and some people prefer non-traditional wines with chocolate… sparkling or red wines are favorites. A fun option for dessert can be a wine and chocolate tasting… try matching several different types of chocolate with different types of wine...present small candy bars of different types (white, mile, dark, etc) and use up the wines you’ve had with dinner or open new bottles. Match the chocolates with a sparkling wine, a still white, a still dry and a dessert wine… that way you’ll know your favorite for next time!
