BOURBON AND WHISKEY
BEER
While pairing chocolate and wine (especially red wine) is a classic notion, creating a combination that allow both components to shine requires some thought. Below are some pairings to help you navigate these two indulgences and bring out the best of each. 41% Milk Chocolate Compare and Contrast - Our sweetest, creamiest chocolate would strike a smart balance against a dry sparkling wine.
While Brut Champagnes are of course the classic of this category, comparative values can be found with Italy’s Proseccos, Spain’s Cavas, and sparkling wines from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Like with Like - The creamy texture of the 41% Cacao milk chocolate would feel right at home alongside a rich Chardonnay or a white Burgundy (also 100% Chardonnay) from the Côte de Beaune. 70% Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt Compare and Contrast: It’s time to enter the oft-neglected world of dessert wines. Port wines are made by adding neutral spirit to a red wine midprocess, which halts the fermentation process while the wine still contains a powerful punch of natural sweetness
Like with Like: A full-throttle red wine would stand up to this chocolate’s delicious bitterness. Stags’ Leap’s Petite Sirah is a outstanding and brawny wine, and Italy’s Valpolicella Ripassos. 82% Dark Chocolate Compare and Contrast: Bordeaux’s Sauternes are among the world’s most coveted sweet wines, and made in painstakingly small quantities. Like with Like: An extra dark chocolate is a natural fit with extra dark red dessert wines. A vintage port would provide a decadent experience or consider a Banyuls from France’s Rhone Valley.
BOURBONS and WHISKEYS
Chocolate Provisions marry up stylishly with Scotches and Whiskies, and Bourbons. 41% Milk Chocolate = high rye bourbon 70% Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt = Wheated Bourbon
82% Simply Dark = high proof bourbon
BEER PAIRINGS
41% Milk Chocolate = darker beers like Stouts and Porters, especially an Oatmeal Stout 70% Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt = the earthy hoppy flavors or Pale Ales, IPA’s and Hazy ales, perfect with the sea salt
82% Simply Dark = Belgian Ales
