Pssst ... wine loves chocolate

By Michael Botner, Okanagan Life

2009 Framboise, 4 ½ stars. Dark and delectable, this port-like nectar embodies the essence of intensely fresh raspberries. A hint of tartness counters the luscious richness. Try it with dark chocolate covered espresso coffe beans. (5 star rating system stresses value for price).

The Little King Sparkling Apple. Naramata Bench apples are the main ingredient in this unique sparkling wine that’s rarely available outside the winery’s tasting room. It’s worth the effort to acquire it. Pour it with the label hidden for your wine know-it-all friends and see what they say.
