For an anniversary treat we went to Berry Brothers near the Ritz Hotel in London for a pre-booked wine and chocolate event. Another charming, chatty couple from Leicester had been given tickets by their lovely daughter-in-law as a Christmas gift.
From the shop upstairs we are led down to the cellars where we start with a glass of sparking pink wine. I looked at the cartoons on the walls about wine.
This event is about matching wine and chocolate. Here's real cocoa before it's turned into chocolate.
The end product - a special chocolate. The one on the left has citrus flavour. The one on the right is Earl Grey flavour (with the magic flavour of bergamot I presume).
I learned that after eating different foods and drinking different drinks you go back to a wine you liked and thought was sweet and find it tastes quite different. Also lemon is as great an additional flavour to chocolate as orange.
