   Chocolate and Zinfandel pairing


Zinfandel wine originated from California and can be red or white. Both come from red grapes, only thing is that White Zinfandel is being specially processed and is more sweeter and lighter than Red Zinfandel.

  Try to buy Zinfandel wine which is around three years old, but no older than five, because it may radically loose all its berry (raspberry, cranberry and blackberry) taste it is known for. Also look for Zinfandel wine made from one type of grape, not the cheap blend of different ones.

  Dark chocolate is the best pair to Zinfandel wines.

Zinfandel wine and Chocolate ideas:

 

   Peel Estate Zinfandel * 

    

   The nose is full of licorice, leather, chocolate and a touch of camphor. Theres the trademark licorice on the palate, but youd never believe this was 16.5 per cent alcohol as theres not a trace of portiness either. The best thing is the 1970s-style tannin buzz on your lips thats a rarity in these tannin-controlled days. This is a restrained Peel zin, but with all the usual flavour goodies. Not quite Zin-Lite, but you might actually get to a second bottle of this one.

Zinfandels go well with chocolate that has some minty stuff in it, like mint bars, cremes, cookies etc. This is the case with dark chocolate. To make such a tasting even better go for wines with minty notes of their own, like some Californian Zins are.

If you like mint taste in chocolate dessert why not enjoy a bottle of Zinfandel with such a dessert...
