Premium Port, Wine & Chocolate Tasting Class
A Match Made in Antioxidant Heaven!
Together with Divalicious Chocolate! we have paired a gourmet selection of artisan-made couverture chocolates and four premium ports and wines, just in time for holiday indulgence.
Jackie Gordon, along with Jean-Baptiste Humbert from Wine Therapy, will take us through each pairing, giving a detailed explanation of the chocolate-making process, of pairing chocolate and wines, and of the best consumption practices!
This is a sit down event and each attendee will be provided with an individual tasting plate with a raw cacao bean and six artisan, couverture chocolates from some of the world’s finest chocolate makers (e.g., Michel Cluizel, Valrhona, Guittard, etc.) as well as a score sheet, flavor wheel and rating scale to write down thoughts and reactions to each chocolate. Each table will be set with palate cleansers and water as well as wine for tasting.
The couvertures they will be tasting range from extra bitter dark chocolate (86% cacao) to a milder dark chocolates (57% cacao), so there will be chocolates that are bound to appeal to the taste preferences of every person and you will get a clear experience of the chocolates you like best.
This is a fun, interactive, social event and the perfect excuse to eat chocolate mid-week (as if you ever need an excuse to eat chocolate).
Space is limited to 16! Advance registration required.
