Answer 1

Favorite Answer

I recommend a Pinot Noir. I have had a wonderful dessert once where the chocolate was paired with a Pinot Noir. It was really very delicious.

Answer 2

A dessert wine (ie. late harvest or ice wine) would work because it is cheesecake. However, the predominant flavours in those wines are fruits and honey. You're using chocolate so a red wine that has a chocolate flavour and smell would work just as well with this cheesecake. Look for a light to medium bodied red wine because a full bodied red wine tends to work better with meats like steak and game and roasts. Some Shiraz's may work but my suggestion would be a Baco Noir or possibly a Cabernet Franc.

Answer 3

Reds - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir Blush - White Zinfandel, the main frequently occurring, quite for beginners, stated as a "Blush" yet belongs to the purple wine kinfolk. White - Reisling, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminor

Answer 4

For chocolate icing brandy is definitely the drink to mix, remember to add sugar/honey to replace the sweetness brandy takes out.

You can also use a drop orange/lemon Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Triple Rec, Curacao... liqueur with the cheese

With the cake i would recommend Port, Vintage port to make it even fancier.

Answer 10
