It's FALL and that means lots and lots of candy is headed our way...what wine shall we pair with them?? I have two personal favorites... Milk Chocolate with Peanut Butter pairs great with our Chambourcin (or a Pinot Noir) with little to no tannins. And Dark Chocolate with or without Carmel pairs great with our Cabernet Franc with light spicy tannins. But we must never forget our dessert wines, remembering that the dessert shouldn't be sweeter than the wine. I hope you enjoy your evening with tricks or treats??

Brrrr......
Brrr...there is a chill in the air and that means we are ready to switch to red wine! As our meals change to richer, more heartier type foods, they tend to pair best with red wine like Cabernet Franc or Chambourcin.Look for a new red wine to be available at Corcoran next month, Petit Verdot!!
Cheers!
