Aromas Wine and Chocolate Tasting last night was an evening of delectable chocolate indulgence and featured a wide variety of complimentary wine selections. This was a evening for friends and couples to enjoy wine and sweets in a warm atmosphere. The desserts were beautifully displayed and the wines poured by the knowledgeable staff at Five Points Bottle Shop.
My favorite was the Rosenblum Late Harvest Viognier; with it's apricot flavor and smooth sweetness, it coupled well with the delightful Truffle in hand. I also found the Tilia Merlot to be impressive with it's slight hint of chocolate that contrasted well with the yummiest mini-cheesecake I've had in years. Made by Alejandro Viggiani, a winemaker and viticulturalist that is in charge of all Catena family vineyards makes this wine a great value.
And, as it always seems to happens at these wine tasting events, I met a wonderful couple who, as the course of conversation meandered, we discovered we have friends in common, stories to share and something to learn.
