EASTER – PAIRING W**E & CHOCOLATE
Pairing w**e and chocolate can be a contentious point for w**e lovers. The rich, bold tastes of both can make marrying them difficult. In order to make sure you get the maximum enjoyment from the consumption of both. Here are a few ideas to help simplify the complicated business of this pairing.

MILK CHOCOLATE – Pair with Port, Sherry, Banyuls, Pinot Noir
WHITE CHOCOLATE – Pair with Ch*****ne, Riesling, Muscat, Fruity Chardonnay
DARK CHOCOLATE – Pair with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barolo, Chianti
CARAMEL FILLED CHOCOLATE – Pair with Madeira, Meursault, Pinot Noir
DARK CHOCOLATE MINT – Pair with Port, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon
DARK ORANGE CHOCOLATE – Pair with Red Bordeaux, Vendange Tardive, Madeira

Basic w**e and chocolate pairing rules include:
1.The w**e should be as sweet as the chocolate.
2.Begin pairing by colour. The darker the chocolate, the darker the w**e.
3. When possible, opt for a high-quality chocolate bar.
4. Consider texture as well as taste.

AuFait with w**e are w**e educators. Our mission is to dispel the myths which surround w**e, to share our experience and knowledge, to sample w**es and to have fun along the way.

STORING YOUR W**E - SO LET'S TALK ABOUT W**E CELLARS...
The word 'cellar' doesn't mean that you have to live in a mansion where the magnificent vaulted cellar has storage space for case upon case of the most expensive w**es. A w**e cellar can be a box in the garage, a cupboard under the stairs or a suit case under the bed as long as it provides the correct (or something like correct) storage conditions.

And the reason you have one isn't to lay down bottles of w**e ready for your grandchildren. It's there simply to provide you with what you want to drink when you want to drink it.
