There are two important things to keep in mind when tasting the different flavor profiles in good quality chocolates: first, you should never eat your entire sample at once. Try a small bite and savor it with every part of your mouth before chewing up another piece and tasting the actual flavor.

Second, try to let the chocolate melt in your mouth before chewing it up and tasting it. This will give you a better idea of what kind of flavors are present in the chocolate without any interference from other tastes or smells that may be coming out at the same time (such as when you're eating something else). You may find, for example, that the chocolate tastes richer and more chocolaty.

Now, let's talk a bit about pairing chocolate with wine. Wine is a great choice for pairing with chocolate if you want to enhance the sweetness and round out that intense, deep flavor.

-Wine is an excellent accompaniment because it also has high acidity levels which gives your mouth something to do while enjoying some of those more potent flavors in dark chocolates.

-My personal favorite wine to pair with chocolate is a Cabernet Sauvignon

-The flavor profile of this wine is well matched to the rich, dark flavors in many types of chocolates.

Renowned for its deep and complex taste, it will be difficult not to notice how beautifully these two flavors contrast one another while also complementing each other's bold and complex flavors.

In order to create your own wine and chocolate pairing, you need to do a little research on the different types of wines available and what type of flavor profiles they have.

-The next step is to find out which types of chocolates will work best with your chosen wine. The intensity level, sweetness, overall taste will make a difference in the pairing.

-Once you know what wines will work with your chocolates, take a moment to enjoy both of them together and pay attention to how they complement one another.

In fact, I guess my favorite wine, in general, is Cabernet Sauvignon because it pairs so well with other foods as well. When it comes to chocolate, it really complements many chocolate flavors to create a fantastic wine and chocolate pairing.

Some wines are made for white chocolate, while others work well with milk and dark chocolates.

What are some of the most popular brands you already enjoy? You can start here and continue to expand your taste by exploring.

White wine is a great choice for bringing out the sweetness of dark chocolate because it has such a high acidity level - and if you want to get creative, the same can be said for red wine with milk chocolate.

If you're just starting out on your journey through all things chocolaty, then I would recommend trying some Valrhona or Theo flavors as well as others like Lindor or Lindt which is a tried and true favorite. However, you can't go wrong with a classic like Hershey's, but if you're looking for something more high end, then I would recommend trying out some Michel Cluizel or Scharffen Berger flavors as well!
