This is one of my Q&A Episodes and I was asked by Eden Spivak what wines she should pair with chocolate. So, this episode looks at still red and white wines with a real focus on dessert wine. During the episode I taste 4 different dessert wines, talking about their production methods, what they taste like and what chocolates paired best with them.
