The Perfect Pairing – Valentine’s Wines and Chocolates

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with the perfect pairing of wine and chocolate? At Frederick Wine Club, we love exploring how flavors interact, and this month, we’re diving into indulgent combinations to treat your palate.

Here are our top pairings to try:

1. Cabernet Sauvignon & Dark Chocolate – The bold tannins in Cabernet beautifully balance the bittersweet richness of dark chocolate.

   We recommend the Crow Canyon Cabernet ($14.99)

2. Ruby Port & Milk Chocolate – A classic! Port’s sweetness harmonizes with the creaminess of milk chocolate for a decadent treat.

   Try the Borges Porty Ruby ($17.99)

3. Sparkling Rosé & White Chocolate – The bright acidity of a sparkling rosé cuts through the sweetness of white chocolate, creating a delightful contrast.

   A great choice is the 90+ Cellars Prosecco Rose ($12.99)
