Generally, I think that the only proper thing to drink to chocolate is water. Yes, pure dihydrogenmonoxide! Sparkling is even better. It cleans the moth and prepares for the choc taste. Combining wine and choclate usually creates a crash where the teastes destroy each other, so both the wine and choc taste suffers.
I make an exception for some good cognacs and prts, though.
But I should medntion that I generally thing most things with alcohol taste awful, so I am probably very prejudiced anyway. [:o)]

i wonder how rum and chocolate go together? i usually don’t drink alcohol, but a good old rum every now and then is nice.

I doubt Amedei would make this list if they thought alcohol destroyed the taste of their chocolate …

Sure – but I think so[8D]
(I am a fairly short person, which means I must compensate with having strong opinions on everything[:D])
OK, leaving for fieldwork now. C U in a month or so.

Just think about the wine and chocolate pairing as a dessert. When you select a chocolate for a dessert, you need to choose the right one to complement the other ingredients, whether they’re hazelnuts, cherries, or a different type of chocolate. I don’t think the flavors would be enhanced or brought out in any way, but they would complement each other, and I think Amedei simply compiled a list of what they thought were the best partners to their different types of chocolate.

be it drink or solid food, i find it interesting to blend tastes. this is a new idea for me though. usually when tasting i try to have a clear palate, yet recently i’ve found that after eating other food certain flavors of the chocolate come out stronger. maybe because i concentrate less on a perfect tasting.
i find that the less i go to extremes in tasting the more i get out of it.
