Wine and Chocolate ~~ Surprisingly well ~~



This was the First time I tasted Wine and Chocolate together ~~~~~

Surprisingly Riedel Glass really made a " huge" difference in drinking the same bottle of wine, and it influenced the flavor of the food as well !!


I would categorize Burgundy, Pinot Noir as one kind, Syratz another, and the Merlot, Cabernet Sauvigant as the third group, so that you use three different kinds of glass....

How does it make a difference? Because it is all physics! The width of the rim of the glass will control the flow of the liquid going into your mouth touching a particular area of your tongue's pallet! 


At the tip of tongue is the sweet taste, which will be using for tasting a light, fresh and flowey wine such as Burgundy; at the root is the bitterness, which will be using for a taste that needs all concertration and roundness; at the surrounding side the acidity taste, and at the middle is the salty taste, thus you use the whole tongue to feel the rich aroma and full body of a Bordeux wine.  All of these were addressing about the choice of glasses we use.
