The Gourmand Section: Decadence in a Glass
Now the pièce de résistance of any meal: dessert! But fair warning – this section isn’t for those counting calories. When you’re indulging in rich, decadent desserts, Pinot Noir can be the perfect wine companion, adding a playful balance to every bite.
Rich Decadent Desserts
Let’s talk chocolate – whether it’s in a gooey cookie, a slice of velvety red velvet cake or a sinful square of milk chocolate. Pinot Noir’s ripe fruit cherry and raspberry flavours, work surprisingly well with these sweet treats. The wine’s acidity helps cut through the richness, preventing things from getting overly sweet. And if you happen to be sneaking that chocolate chip cookie late at night, Pinot Noir will be right there with you, making the indulgence feel, well, almost sophisticated – and guilt-free.
Peanut Butter
Yes, you read that right. Peanut butter, that humble pantry staple, becomes gourmet when paired with Pinot Noir. The wine’s silky texture and bright acidity work wonders with the rich, nutty goodness of peanut butter. Who knew that Pinot could elevate a spoonful of peanut butter to a level worthy of fine dining? So next time you’re feeling like a rebel in the kitchen, grab that peanut butter jar and pour yourself a glass of Pinot Noir – you’ll feel like a culinary genius.
Light Desserts
For those who want to pretend they’re keeping things “light” after indulging in the main course (no judgment here), Pinot Noir has your back too. Its bright red fruit notes are a match made in heaven with fresh berries, cherries, or crisp sliced apples. The wine’s delicate fruitiness brings out the natural sweetness of these lighter desserts, so you can feel good about enjoying something fresh – even if it’s just an excuse to keep the wine flowing.
Whether you’re diving into a mountain of chocolate or nibbling on some fresh fruit, Pinot Noir will be your faithful companion! And for those waist-watchers, fear not! Pinot Noir is the ultimate low-calorie wine – low in sulfur too and perfect for the keto lifestyle. So, to the waist-watchers, we say: live a little! After all, Pinot Noir wasn’t meant to be sipped alone, and dessert wasn’t meant to be skipped.
