Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Dark Chocolate With Citrus Orange And Fresh Cherries

Big Cab with dark chocolate — tannin meets cocoa's bitter edge in surprising harmony.

Prosecco

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Off-dry

Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.

Why it works with Citrus Orange

Off-dry bubbles lift fresh fruit and fruit-based desserts.

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Citrus Orange

Off-dry Riesling with fruit-forward dishes echoes stone-fruit and orchard notes.

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.

Why it works with Dark Chocolate With Citrus Orange And Fresh Cherries

Vintage Port and dark chocolate is the textbook dessert pairing — sweet and rich meet sweet and rich.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Dark Chocolate With Citrus Orange And Fresh Cherries

Late-harvest Zin or jammy Zin can stand up to chocolate's intensity.
