The Chirping Moms

Wine & Chocolate Pairing Ideas (with a Sweet Giveaway!)

November 23, 2015

The holiday season is upon us & one of my favorite things to do during this busy time of year is to host a fun moms’ night out to relax and unwind.  Two things that you need when you have a moms’ night out:  wine & chocolate.  When I’m hosting a night out, I never have a lot of time to prep because I am managing the kids’ bedtimes & the end of the day in our household.  I am always trying to think of fun but quick ideas on how to make a moms’ night out extra special.  Today, I am sharing a few recommended wine and chocolate pairings with a super easy way to serve your items at a moms’ night out.
For this particular night out,  I served Clus do Bois wines & paired with the Brookside Dark Chocolate Flavors.  I love that the Brookside Chocolate website shares some great recipe ideas & suggested pairings making it easy to guide your friends to the best pairings for their wine of choice.
Brookside Chocolate is rich, dark chocolate that has sweetened soft centers made with exotic fruit flavors.  It is super delicious and perfect for a sweet treat in the evening.  One thing that I found helpful, especially when trying to pair wine with chocolate, is their helpful Pairings & Recipes page on their website.  Based on their suggestion, I paired Clos du Bois Pinot Noir with the Brookside Dark Chocolate Pomegrante Flavors.  The sweet taste of the fruit flavor was perfect for this dry wine.
I also paired Clos du Bois Merlot with Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai & Blueberry Flavors based on their recommended pairings.  Other suggested pairings include:   Clos Du Bois Cabernet Sauvignon with Brookside Dark Chocolate Goji & Raspberry Flavors and Clos Du Bois Rouge with Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters.
Now to get ready for your fun night out, tape some chalkboard wrapping paper to your table so it is creates a sort of thick table runner.  Then, put different kinds of wine on one side of the table.  On the other side of the table, put the different chocolate flavors.  Then, I just drew some fancy arrows from the wine bottle to the recommended Brookside Dark Chocolate flavor.  You can decorate the chalkboard wrapping paper as fancy as you would like.  It’s just a fun and different way to serve the wine and chocolate!
Now for today’s giveaway, one lucky winner will win the prize package pictured below that is complete with: Brookside Chocolate, red & white wine goblets, wine bottle caps & a winged corkscrew.  It’s a perfect prize package for a fun night out.  Enter below for a chance to win!
