In a word? YES!
Finding the perfect match in food combinations is the bonus.Chocolate ignites similar positive endorphins to being in love.

“ The wine match depends on the amount of sugar and milk solids in the chocolate: the less of these, the drier the wine can be, such as amarone and dark chocolate, which also has a higher concentration of cocoa.

“ For milk chocolate, that’s sweeter with more milk solids, go for a richer, sweeter dessert wine such as port.

“ Passionfruit caramels blend both the sharpness of the fruit and the toffee richness of the caramel. Try a tawny port.

If you like rose wine, then you need to start making your own rhubarb wine by following this recipe!

Light, pink and sweet with a subtle sharpness, rhubarb wine is the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon lunch on a warm summer’s day. It is also surprisingly versatile and adding a curl of ginger will release the spicy base notes of the rhubarb, while a dash of vanilla transforms rhubarb wine into a candy-like confection.

But perhaps the best thing about rhubarb wine is just how easy it is to make. This is one of the most accessible and forgiving fruit wines on the planet. Rhubarb is so easy to grow that theres probably a few stems growing out in your backyard right now that you forgot all about. Once you have your rhubarb, all you need is some sugar, lemon, yeast and water and you’re good to go! Rhubarb wine actually tastes better when its young, so you won’t  go crazy waiting a year to taste your first batch.

This recipe for rhubarb wine is the process of a lot of tweaking and in my opinion it is the best rhubarb wine you have ever tasted. If you prefer a sweeter, lighter or pinker wine.

3lbs (1.3kg) fresh rhubarb stalks. Thats’ the pink stalks only, NOT the green, leafy head of the rhubarb. My local rhubarbs are pretty big so 3lbs is the equivalent of around 9-10 stalks. To be safe, grab 12-15 stalks and use any extras to make a delicious fruit crumble.
2.5lbs (1.13kg) granulated sugar
1lb of fresh root ginger or 1tsp of root ginger powder
Juice and zest of one lemon, or 0.5oz (15g) citric acid
If using a lemon, make sure it is unwaxed. When removing the zest, be very careful not to remove any of the white pith below, as this has an extremely bitter taste that will change the wine completely. I prefer to be extra careful by using a lemon zester

White wine yeast. Follow the instructions on the pack for details on how much to use. If you can’t find white wine yeast, red wine yeast or champagne yeast will also do the job
Yeast nutrient. Follow the instructions on the packet to find out how much to use.
Campden tablets
Wine stopper/stabilizer such as potassium sorbate

This recipe is for 1 gallon to make a full 23 litres just times it by 6!
Prepare your rhubarb by cutting it into cubes, boil 4 liters of water, add citric acid to it and allow your rhubarb to soak in the mix for 3 days, to turn to mush.
This will ensure it breaks up! Use a fruit bag, it makes clean up so much easier!

Moscato may come from one of the oldest grape varietals but it’s only been recently that its popularity has skyrocketed. While the wine more than stands on its own, much of Moscato’s increased profile is due to pop culture, with many musicians embracing the light-bodied, sweet wine as their drink of choice. In just a few short years, Moscato has become one of the top-selling white wines in North America, making this an opportune time for Winexpert and Absolutely Grape U-Brew to introduce to you the brand new World Vineyard California Moscato.

Merlot is the second most popular red grape in America (after Cabernet Sauvignon). Known for being soft, ripe and elegant, most Merlots are easy drinking reds that go well both with food as well as on their own. This is an approachable grape varietal and is often recommended as the first red wine someone new to red wine should drink.
It is believed that the first time the grape was used in making wine was in the late 1700s when a French winemaker in the Bordeaux region formally labeled the grape as an ingredient in his Bordeaux wine blend. From this moment on, the grape spread across Bordeaux and became known for its unique ability to add softness and luscious fruit to a wine when it was combined with the region’s  favorite grape, Cabernet Sauvignon. The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot complemented each other so well, that the pair became the main ingredients for the world-renowned Bordeaux blend, now coveted by the majority of the world’s wine drinkers.
