     Here are the results of our All Saints Episcopal Church Second Annual Wine Chocolate and Cheese Tasting at The Hershey Country Club.  This year with new wines, chocolates and cheeses there were some interesting results.  The event was a huge success with everyone having a great time and raising a good deal for the Churches Accessibility to All Campagne.  Thank you to everyone who participated in our fun, quasi-scientific endeavor.
    To summarize, participants chose...
Chambourcin (dry red) paired best with Dubliner Irish Cheddar and two chocolates which were Dagoba Dark Chocolate Berry and Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts

 

Finish Line Red (semi-sweet red) paired best with salty Feta and Endangered Species Dark Choc. With Blueberries


Chardonnay (dry white) paired best with Dubliner Irish Cheddar and also the Smoked Gouda while Dagoba Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts seemed to be the favorite chocolate


Finally, our Blush (semi-sweet Gold Medal Award Winning) paired equally well with Dubliner Irish Cheddar, Jarlesburg Swiss and Smoked Gouda but there was a decided winner in the chocolate with the Dagoba Dark Chocolate and Berry. 


  We hope the participants enjoyed drinking and eating the wine, chocolate and cheeses and hope to do it all again together next year.
