This is a good topic. Throughout the years, people have tried to pair wines with chocolate, most being failures. I remember years ago at the Mandarin Oriantal Hotel, in the mid 1990s, when they still had the Pierrot Restaurant (since been replaced by Vong and then Pierre Gagnaire), they hosted a Cos d'Estournel wine dinner. One of the matches was 1990 with a chocolate dessert. Of course that failed miserably. I also remember they served 1982 with the cheese Vacherin Mont d'Or (creamy cow milk cheese is mostly better with white wine or lighter red), and a 85 with a pigeon consomme (wine with soup is liquid and liquid), which did not work very well either, but these were not as bad as the dry Bordeaux/sweet chocolate combination.
I am of the opinion that chocolate is best with Cognac. If one must drink red wine, a sweet Recioto de Vapolicella, passito de Sagrantino, Port or those Vins Doux Naturel could hit the spot. White wine wise, those fortified Australian Rutherglen Muscat/Tokay, Spanish sherries like Oloroso/Pedro Ximenez, or Portugese Madeiras could fit the bill |
