Small Tournedos with wild mushroom sauce

Araciel Malbec, Valle de Uco, Argentina - Abundant aromas of dried plum, blackberry, and leather followed by hints of thyme, sweet anise, and black pepper. Rich and complex with flavors of ripe dark fruits, chocolate cherry, thyme, and blackberry pie. This wine has a lingering fruit-forward finish with firm acidity and subtle tannins

White chocolate Chambord Mousse in a milk chocolate cup

Belle Glos Dairyman Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, CA - Deep garnet in color with abundant aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, and blackberry pie with hints of black currant and cedar. There are layered flavors of blackberry and raspberry pie filling on the palate, accompanied by notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and nutmeg. White chocolate's buttery, creamy texture and sweetness make it ideal for pairing with slightly fruity wines. Red wines with bright acidity and red fruit notes can provide a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the chocolate, while still allowing the delicate flavors of the white chocolate to shine through.
