Indugle Yourself On National Chocolate Soufflé Day

Hip Hip Hooray, today is National Chocolate Soufflé Day! If you’ve ever indulged in chocolate soufflé, you know why this decadent dessert has its own day of recognition. This sugary treat is an unavoidable temptation…let’s end the month on a sweet note!

While enjoying a chocolate soufflé, double your bliss and couple your savory dessert with a glass of wine. Consider Mira’s red wine selection for the perfect pairing. Mira’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon or 2011 Pinot Noir will impeccably compliment your chocolate soufflé. Red wine is arguably the best wine pairing for a dessert that matches the richness and lush taste of a soufflé.

Beyond National Chocolate Soufflé Day, celebrate the combination of chocolate and wine throughout the year. Chocolate and wine are a fabulous blend when paired with the right style of wine and the right type of chocolate. The wrong pairings could leave you with a sour or bitter aftertaste. Longing for a rich piece of white chocolate? Opt for a white wine like Chardonnay. Desiring a dark chocolate dessert? A red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon will certainly compliment the dark chocolate flavor.

In honor of National Chocolate Soufflé Day, relish the creamy texture and satisfying flavor of a warm soufflé. Just don’t forget to pour a glass of red Mira wine to complete your sweet treat.
