DON’T… that’s it. That’s the blog… All jokes a side it’s really not that great of a pairing. Sure you can do it. There’s sweet sparkling wines or champagne that will work with sweet chocolate and esoteric dry sparkling that may work
If you’ve ever been to a tasting room, you’re pretty familiar with the experience. You book a tasting, show up at the reserved time, enjoy the tasting, buy bottles, or join the wine club. When we open our doors on November 27, 2021, the experience will be very similar.
We’ve made great progress on our tasting room and wanted to share how far we’ve come! We are currently on track to open in November and will announce the grand opening date in the next two weeks!
Have you ever looked at a bottle of wine in the store and saw the words “dry” or “off dry” and passed on it because you didn’t want anything that would leave your mouth too dry? What about champagne? What are your thoughts when you see extra brut?
You’ve probably eaten some pretty delicious dishes at fancy schmancy (yes… schmancy), restaurants and thought to yourself, “it can’t get much better than this”.
