Wine and chocolate pairing

Rich and sinfully delicious, chocolate starts out pretty wonderful.  But add deep red or sweet wines - and you get the sexiest pairing imaginable.  COPIA's WineTeam matches decadent wines with luxurious chocolate nibbles prepared by Cellar360 Culinary Specialist Kasey Passen for a match made in heaven.

Reservations must be made in advance by calling 888.512.6742 or purchasing tickets online.  Space is limited: program fees are non-refundable unless cancellation is made within at least 48 hours of the start of the program.
