IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR FOR CHOCOLATE, CHEESE AND WINES

As the calendar turns to November, the late autumn and early winter holidays aren't far behind. All the celebrations open doors to savory foods, sweets and good times with family and friends. 

“Gourmet chocolate, aged cheese, and fine Wine” all 3 are always present at holiday parties and dinners, so why not combine them into one dessert that will be sure to continue the conversation late into the night? 

Not only is this dessert idea unique and different, it’s foolproof and takes the stress away from spending hours in the kitchen trying to whip up a festive masterpiece. Most cheeses and red wines are best served at room temperature, so this platter can be made well ahead of time, before guests even arrive.

It can be overwhelming to try and perfectly pair each cheese with each chocolate and each wine; there are no right answers the key is to keep everything simple; not only for the host’s own sanity, but also to not overwhelm guests.
