Wine, Cheese & Chocolate - What a Lovely Combination!



On Wed, May 12 from 6-8pm, The Wine Shop of Reading and The Chocolate Truffle joined forces to hold a delectable wine, cheese and chocolate tasting to support Creative Arts.

Ticket sales for the event and 15% of wine, cheese and chocolate sales purchased supported Creative Arts!
It was a success! The Wine Shop provided unique and interesting wines to sample plus great information on the wine-making process.

Erin, owner and chocolatier of The Chocolate Truffle, paired artisan chocolate with the featured wines. Everyone's favorite was dark chocolate with sea salt. Haven't tried it? YOU SHOULD!

The cheese counter at The Wine Shop paired savory favorites to match the wine tasting collection.
 Chocolate and cheese pair well with wine because they cut the taste of tannin (a dry, bitter, chalky taste) while enhancing certain flavors found in each tasty substance. Just LOOK at that selection!

Since the event was successful, we will definitely run this again! For those in attendance, thank you for supporting the Arts!
