Marrying Wine with Chocolate!

Growing up with European parents and having spent my pre-college years educated in the French academic system, I’ve always seen wine as something that should be appreciated paired with food. That said, chocolate is too often overlooked as a wonderful accompaniment.

I was reminded of this this morning when I attended a presentation given by Dove and the company’s PR team. They gave me and the other attendees the inside scoop on how their product goes from bean to bar and showcased some of their soon-to-be-released new chocolates! I taste-tested some of their new flavors, which were truly delicious, and their new packaging makes the bars portable and allows for portion control (re-closeable flaps and the bar is made up of three individually wrapped pieces of chocolate), but the whole time all I could think of was how amazing their Dark Chocolate Almond Bar would taste with a glass of California Cabernet Sauvignon!
