The Cabernets from Napa are just like the wonderful women who hosted us for the Wine Entre Femme symposium last weekend: Big, Bold and Beautiful!
It has been said, especially by Europeans, that these wines are difficult to match with food but I beg to differ – they are the perfect match for chocolate and I’m not the only one to think so.
Included at lunch in the spectacular cellars of Harlan Estate, hosted by Vineyard Manager Mary Hall Maher, were a selection of chocolates from local St Helena Chocolatier Woodhouse in their characteristic Tiffany blue boxes.
Jane Balentine had the same idea after an amazing Lobster Feed in the cellars at William Cole Vineyards. Chocolate cupcakes and dainty chocolate drops were on the menu.
Could chocolate and Cabernet be the perfect Valentine match?

Woodhouse chocolates – there’s more to Napa than Cabernet
