Wine-filled chocolate, wine-flavoured salt…

Christmas time is often when we indulge (more than usual) in sweets and other goodies. Is chocolate filled with wine the perfect Christmas present for the wine lover? 80% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 72 % cocoa, and 1.2% alcohol (that makes for 173.2% in total!). Indeed, it sounds very interesting but unfortunately we have not yet tasted it. Or what about sea salt flavoured with the lees from wine barrels (again cabernet and merlot)? We don’t know how lees taste or why you would flavour salt with it but it does sound interesting so why not try it! (And it’s a clever way of using a waste product to something useful!) Both chocolate and salt come from Chateau La Gatte in Bordeaux: www.winechocolate.net
