Ding-Dongs & Domaine de Blanes Maury

“For those chocolate fans, nothing quite like a ding-dong to hit the spot. But of course, there’s the age-old debate of what to drink with a delectable ding-dong…you might say Arnot-Roberts cabernet, or maybe a K vintners Boom Boom Syrah, but I suggest traveling to the base of the Pyrenees for this pairing.  Old vine Grenache, harvested so late it’s like having a Muse squeeze chocolate and raspberry in a glass in front of you.  I might even suggest dunking the ding-dong before your bite to get the full effect, but maybe one at a time is better to truly savor the splendor.” – dave rounds

Don’t worry, we won’t be serving ding dongs for dessert in our Comprehensive Wine 101 classes! We’ll actually be serving homemade vanilla and orange liqueur pound cake drizzled with a fresh creme anglaise sprinkled with pistachio toffee crumbles on September 27th. What wine goes with that dessert? Come find out! (Or if you can’t come to class and you really want to know, just email me and we’ll tell you.)
