Port in Summer

July 26, 2011 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

In the heat of summer, advised pairings for port can seem far too heavy; especially pairings with chocolate. The late summer weather can easily make chocolate and port seem like a heavy and cloying dessert; far too much. This isn’t to say though that port and chocolate is never good during the summer. There are a variety of ways to enjoy the classic combination even in the summer. Think of lighter ways to enjoy chocolate, like ice cream or mousse. Chocolate ice cream and chilled chocolate mousse pair nicely with port when they are made with quality chocolate, because it is overly sugary dishes as well as hot dishes that would make this inappropriate feeling for summer.
                Of course for the more adventurous of fans of the port and chocolate pairing, a port and chocolate mousse could make a sophisticated dessert.  But the easiest way to appease the port fans out there in the summer is to top a cool and light dessert with a dark chocolate top and serve with port. A drizzle of dark chocolate makes strawberries and cream a whole new experience, as well as perfectly accepting to being paired with port. Either way, fill those wine totes without regard for the season because where there is a will there is a way.
