Wine & Chocolate Pairing & Tasting
La Jolla Community Center: The gift of wine and chocolate is one of the most romantic presents you can gift someone (including to yourself) but did you know that pairing wine and chocolate is one of the most challenging pairings in the culinary world? Please join us for a delightful wine and chocolate tasting where we'll chat about why certain choco-vino pairings work better than others while enjoying some delicious examples. The discussion will be led by Stefano Poggi (Certified Wine Specialist & Italian Wine Specialist from the North American Sommelier Association) who has been in the wine industry for 16 years and has a passion for chocolate as well. This conversation will touch upon wines, chocolate, and two icons of beautiful Italy, Puglia, and Piemonte. Expect lots of pictures.
