"In the past, I was silenced for even suggesting a Cabernet Sauvignon was a suitable pairing with dark chocolate, though I was convinced the duo was divine. So I insisted and matched each truffle collection to one of my favorite wines, synchronizing origins and complementary flavor notes in the wine and chocolate. Here's to an eternal life of wine + chocolate!" – Katrina

The Riesling grape remains the great aristocrat of German vineyards, with the uncanny ability to maintain a strong backbone of acidity regardless of the wines sweetness, yielding balance. This quality makes Riesling a perfect milk chocolate pair, with the sugar in the wine complementing the milk chocolate ganache and the acid providing simultaneous contrast. Schloss Vollrads in particular has a nose of honeydew melon and crisp green apple, leading to a palate with moderate sugar levels and an undertone of toast.

My top picks:
Naga truffle with sweet Indian curry and coconut: Curry provides an interesting contrast to the bright fruit notes in the wine.
Woolloomooloo truffle with Australian macadamia nut and coconut: Coconut gives this pairing a "tropical" flair, drawing subtle nuances of pineapple from the wine that you might not have perceived upon first sip.
