Halloween: Candies & Wines – Wine Tasting & Class

Saturday, October 31 · 7 PM – 8:30 PM · Bonde Fine Wine Shop, 54 Church St, Cambridge, MA

About

Can chocolate and candy really pair with wine, or is it a pairing nightmare waiting to happen? Spend 90 minutes taking the guesswork out of wine and chocolate pairing with internationally renowned sommelier Bertil Jean-Chronberg. Through a playful series of tastings, discover why sweetness, bitterness, acidity, tannins and texture can make certain combinations surprisingly delicious, and others frighteningly wrong. Taste different wines alongside a selection of Halloween chocolates and candies, compare the combinations for yourself, and learn a few simple principles you can use at home long after Halloween is over. As always at Bonde, expect serious wine without the seriousness: an intimate group, plenty of tasting and conversation, and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where experimentation is encouraged, and questions are always welcome. Don’t be scared. It will be fun with 11 others one Please inform us in advance of any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
