Both wine and chocolate can have intense, and sometimes dry flavours.  Our favourite way to pair chocolate is to try to match similar style and intensity.... a bold red can typically pair deliciously well with a dark chocolate, or a white chocolate with a riesling or sparkling.  

When it comes to pairing cheese and wine, some of our recommendations are below,

• Gruyere - Chardonnay
• Feta or Ricotta - Pinot Grigio
• Brie - Sparkling Wine
• Sharp Cheddar - Pinot Noir
• Blue Cheese - Icewine
