A little advice for pairing chocolate covered strawberries with wine:

Try a juicy California Pinot Noir as the fruit notes of said wine complement the dessert perfectly. 🌞 🍷 🍇

For white chocolate-covered strawberries, pair with a sparkling Lambrusco.🍷 🍫 🇮🇹

Stag’s Leap Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2017.

Robert Parker gives this lush, structured Napa Valley beauty 95 points out of 100.

Winemaker Notes:

“The 2017 CASK 23 combines the signature perfume notes of FAY vineyard with the structure and dark fruit of S.L.V. The wine opens with a rich berry medley and silky, layered aromas of dates, cocoa spice, cassis, black olive, and pomegranate. The palate is full in structure, yet balanced and persistent with a lush texture. Flavors of currant, dark cherry, and spice linger on the finish. Enjoy this CASK 23 with red wine braised Osso Buco and wild mushroom risotto, green olive crusted lamb rack with fennel & couscous or New York steak au poivre with honey and sherry glazed shallots.”

Oh Pair! Notes:

On the nose, boysenberry, plum and ground cocoa.

On the palate: Baking spice, dark cherry with a hint of sour cherry (apropos for SLV terroir).

Velvety and full-bodied; well-structured tannins that grip the sides of the tongue and then slowly release.

$$$ ~$300/750 ml.

Trifle for dinner guests this evening.

The magic pairing for this would be a Brachetto d’Acqui; a light-bodied, sweet sparkling red from the Piedmont region of Italy. The Brachetto grape makes a highly fragrant wine (strawberry notes) and is sometimes referred to as the red equivalent of a Moscato d’Asti.

Unshackled Rosé 2019 tasting notes:

On the nose:
Mineral, overripe cantaloupe, summer strawberry.

On the palate:
Grapefruit, lemon flesh, limestone leaves a lingering mouthwatering sensation and a long and zesty finish.

This rosé would pair well with roast chicken or duck, lamb, goat cheese influenced charcuterie board, spinach, mint, and pistachios.

An always delightful blend of Pinot Noir, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, Wilfred Wong gave this salmon-colored beauty 91 points.
