What's the best wine to drink with dark chocolate? - Pinkies Up Ep. 6
Show Notes

On this episode of Pinkes Up, we seek to find out what is the best type of wine to drink with dark chocolate. Trust us, it was hard to do the research on this episode, but we got it done for you!

On Pinkies Up, we try to help normal wine drinkers learn more about wine in ways that are unpretentious, fun, and helpful. On this episode, Nick drops a few pro tips about sparkling wine throughout the episode while Bridget shares her love of bubbles and offers opinions about what every day drinkers would enjoy.

On this episode, we used Milwaukee's own award-winning Indulgence Chocolatiers Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt Bars and Snack Factory Dark Chocolate Pretzel Crisps for our chocolate. Here's a list of the wines we enjoyed with the chocolate:

  • Le Charmel Pinot Noir
  • Renacer Punto Final Malbec
  • Josh Reserve Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Offley Tawny Port
  • Schmitt Söhne Berenauslese Riesling

We also tried an Oktoberfest beer from Maplewood Brewing based on the recommendation of Julie Waterman (owner of Indulgence Chocolatiers) made in our previous podcast episode. You can listen to that episode here.

To find out what wines we thought worked best with the chocolate and to get general tips on pairing these items together, you can listen to the episode, or visit our website for more details.

We hope you enjoy this episode and go find the perfect bottle of wine to enjoy with  your chocolate. If you have favorite wine and chocolate pairings, we'd love for you to get in touch with us and let us know your tips.
